Acting's fun, but life's more important

Being pretty crazy while being chased by the National Enquirer is not good. The British tabloids were the worst.

The studios still had development programs for young people. Because you weren't talking about the budgets of small nations the way you are now when you make a movie. There was a lot more freedom to fail.

We didn't have movies in this little mining town. When I was 12 my mom took me to New York and I saw Bye Bye Birdie, with people singing and dancing, and that was it.

It was a wonderful time to be young. The 1960s didn't end until about 1976. We all believed in Make Love, Not War. We were idealistic innocents, despite the drugs and sex.

The only movie that ever really scared me was The Exorcist,but even then, I was laughing part of the time.

The thing about the wacky fans is that they're really sweet.
