I am essentially a loner.

As long as I can walk and talk, I'll try almost anything. I say "almost" because the high wire is definitely out.

Always I'm feeling, 'You're never going to work again.' That's going to happen one day, but I hope I'm not alive.

I used to tremble from nerves so badly that the only way I could hold my head steady was to lower my chin practically to my chest and look up at Bogie. That was the beginning of The Look.

Remember what Bogie and my mother both used to say: 'Character is the most important thing. All that matters is character!'
