But why should I run for office and lose what little influence I have?

I don't even like to use the word relationship. I don't know what it means.

But some actors I have met possess an intelligence that I can only dream of. It's about character, it's about behavior. They understand things about people that I simply don't see.

Acting is not about knowing all this stuff; it's about character.

I kind of dwindled into acting.

I had no desire from an early age to be on the stage.

I was immature the way I handled the business. I saw myself as a tribune of the people.
