Actors are not made, they are born.

I can't say that I pursued a career. I really didn't, it just sort of happened.

I never regretted what I turned down.

Louis B. Mayer and I got along like a house afire. He never chased me around his desk or tried anything with me. Of course, he never gave me any good parts, either.

Mystery is something that appeals to most everybody.

As a kid, I just was a contract player at MGM Studios. They put me into goodness knows how many different roles.Some of them were wonderful and some of them were very just distasteful and awful because I was playing out of my age range and I was thoroughly uncomfortable, let's put it that way. So it took me many years to find my acting feet.

You just have to be open and ready, and let it all happen.
