I was the kind of kid that had some talents or ability, but it never came out in school.

When I was going for my graduate degree, I decided I was going to make a feature film as my thesis. That's what I was famous for-that I had my thesis film be a feature film, which was 'You're a Big Boy Now.'

I live near San Francisco in the most beautiful spot on earth and enjoy myself in many ways. Yes, I love to work, which for now is to think and read and write, so it's all a dream come true.

The internet in hotels should be free - and I really resent it when they charge you five dollars for a bottle of water beside your bed.

I was a pretty shy, lonely kid. I blossomed about age 17, when I went to college.

Stay innocent. I'm 69 years old, and I'm still innocent.
