You asked me my favorite question: What happened and what did you learn from being under contract to MGM? And the answer is I know how to make movies. I understand how to do that. I've been doing that my whole life. It's just easier to raise the money yourself and then hire yourself. It's possible if you reduce your own budget a little.

There are two schools of thought. A manager would tell you that must make them realize you're a dedicated actor and I took a totally different route than that. I never ever took myself seriously.

I'm not somebody who runs from the press. I'm not coy. I appreciate the press I've had over the years.

I'm my own doctor. I have a group of people who call me up on a weekly basis. I'm a 'doctor' without a license.

While I put forth the suntan and the teeth and the cavalier attitude, I've survived under the worst of eras and times, and I've always had a good time doing it, because I never really took myself seriously, nor did I take life seriously because it is already terribly serious.

It flew towards the roof of the net like a Wurlitzer

Basically, I'm a shy human being. Very introverted.
