I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be until finally I became that person. Or he became me.

We have our factory, which is called a stage. We make a product, we color it, we title it and we ship it out in cans.

Dying's tough - but not as tough as comedy.

I am reminded of a piece of advice my father gave me regarding shoes. ...He said it is better to buy one good pair of shoes than four cheap ones. One pair made of fine leather could outlast four inferior pairs and, if well-cared-for, would continue to proclaim your good judgment and taste no matter how old they become.

...and there I suddenly found my articulate self in a dazzling land of smiling, jostling people wearing and not wearing all sorts of costumes and doing all sorts of clever things. And that's when I knew! What other life could there be but that of an actor?

My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.

I began by acting like the person I wanted to be, and eventually I became that person.
