All I knew how to do was to act. That's the only thing I had in my favor. That was the thing that propelled me forward.

I just went along for the ride. It was a God-given gift. It is. So you can't say well, you wasted your life because you spent all of it acting, but I think gosh, I've never been to China, I've never been to Japan. I've never been to Yellowstone Park.
