You put on a face for the public. The face isn't false; it's just another side of you. If it were false, you couldn't last. People want something real and natural, and if they catch you acting, you're dead. It has to look real. In order to look real, it has to be real, and I've always thought of the characters I've played as real people.

James GarnerI did a little bit of cocaine in the Eighties, courtesy of John Belushi, but fortunately I didnโt like it. But I smoked marijuana for 50 years and I donโt know where Iโd be without it. It opened my mind and now it eases my arthritis. After decades of research Iโve concluded that marijuana should be legal and alcohol illegal.
