When you please your mother by doing something, it gives you confidence that you can please other people.

On stage or in the movies I could do whatever I wanted to. I was free.

I love acting, especially if it's a fantasy of some kind, where it's not just realistic, it's not naturalism.

I love the art of acting, and I love film, because you always have anther chance if you want it. You know, if we - if this isn't going well, you can't say - well, you could say - let's stop. Let's start over again, Gene, because you were too nervous.

Anyway, when I got out of the Army, I went to see a therapist. And she said, what seems to be the trouble? And I said I want to give all my money away. And she said, how much do you have? And I said, I owe $300. She stared at me for several seconds, and she said, I see. Well, let's get to work. And maybe by the time you do have some money, you'll be wise enough to know what to do with it.

Dont put the sheep on the table.

I'm in complete remission. I'm alive and well.
