A human being is only interesting if he's in contact with himself. I learned you have to trust yourself, be what you are, and do what you ought to do the way you should do it. You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it.

I don't enjoy public performances and being up on a stage. I don't enjoy the glamour. Like tonight, I am up on stage and my feet hurt.

It always gave me the creeps when I saw performers who desperately wanted the audience to like them. That's not what I'm about.

I arrived in Hollywood without having my nose fixed, my teeth capped, or my name changed. That is very gratifying to me.
