Love is overrated. Biochemically no different than eating large quantities of chocolate

You'll never be alone if you’ve got a book.

I want to be a great actor someday, and I've decided there's no use philosophizing; the only way is to work at my craft.

Actually, the person I related to was James Dean. I grew up with the Dean thing. Rebel Without A Cause had a very powerful effect on me.

I don't think actors should ever expect to get a role, because the disappointment is too great. You've got to think of things as an opportunity. An audition's an opportunity to have an audience.

I found that speaking live to people, young people, about what I liked and what had been happening to me was very good for me. I was quite overtaken by success and fame. I was one of those types who responded to it in a negative way. It was not easy.

Drinking and smoking grass were a part of my life as far back as I can remember.
