I have gone through a long apprenticeship. I have gone through enough of being a nobody. I have decided that when I am a star, I will be every inch and every moment the star! Everybody from the studio gateman to the highest executive will know it.

I think all this talk about age is foolish. Every time I'm one year older, everyone else is too.
