In the beginning I had a real work problem. Every time I had job I had to convince the immigration authorities I was the only man for that job and get a special work permit until I went under contract to MGM.

Acting is something I love.

I am proud to be an actor.

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

Art doesn't feed me or fill the void when I am not working. If I haven't worked for six months, I can't paint.

I'm not doing my work for constant success.

The fact that I'm going to be unsuccessful at times is pretty well-balanced by the fact that I'm going to be successful at others.
