I'd much rather turn down a starring role in a bad picture and do a small role in a very good picture.

I am proud to be an actor.

When I said I no longer wanted to be a painter, that I wanted to be an actor, the first thing I did was get a stinking job in an insurance building.

To a large degree, those early lean days were self-imposed.

I did well as an actor in Australia, and then Paramount invited me over... to have a look at me.

I married at a tender age during my early stage and radio struggles.

I suddenly realized how much I loved her when we attended Alfred Hitchcock's 75th birthday party last August. There was something magical about that night, and it made me see how much she really meant to me.
