I was brought up by two extremely intelligent people who gave me the greatest gift that man can give anyone, and that is freedom from fear.

People think that I'm tough and strong and that I kicked my way through everything. But they are wrong. The truth is that when I was young I was adorable and a trembling wreck.

He's worked his entire life and he's never lived a single moment, I mean not a moment, in the real world.

The lack of work destroys people.

When I’ve been unsuccessful, I’ve been controlled. When I’ve been successful, I’ve been in control.

I thought, can you think of any really good reason not to do it? Except that, oh, I'm so shy, or oh, my private life, or oh, are they going to find out how boring I am? You know? And that was the only reason now, in a sense, not to do television. Because it certainly is a method of expression, which has to be accepted as these things come along.

If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased.
