I decided in my life that I would do nothing that did not reflect positively on my father's life.

Generally, I tend to despise human behavior rather than human creatures.

When I set out to become an actor, I had set myself a standard.

I was born two months early, and everyone had given up on me. But my mother insisted on my life.

Mine was an easy ride compared to Jackie Robinson's.

I did not go into the film business to be symbolized as someone else's vision of me.

I wanted to explore the values that are at work, underpinning my life.
