Some actors don't mind it. Those who are pretty. They think it's nice to be looked at because they are nice to look at. I appreciate that. I'm very happy to salute that aspiration. But I don't like the way I look so I don't like being photographed. I become defensive.

It's not that I'm sick of the theater, don't get me wrong. I'm just tired of the commitment.

I've always hated the way I looked.
