I didn't want to do the sitcom thing, but I didn't know what else to do.

My life is my statement and I try to be true to myself and thusly to other people. Whatever my failings are, they are human and I try to perfect it each day.

Gradually the live TV scene simmered out, replaced by film, and that took place in L.A. So many actors left New York.

People have an affinity towards things, and you don't know where it comes from. Mozart wrote a symphony when he was four, so it's said; the theory is maybe because his father was a conductor, it happened in vitro, and he heard the music before he was born, and by the age of four he knew how to write music.

I've discovered that the more freedom I have to be creative, the more creative I become.

I believe in taking what happens as inevitable.

I'm so not ready to die. It petrifies me. I go alone. I go to a place I don't know. It might be painful. It might be the end. My thought is that it is the end. I become nameless, and I spent a lifetime being known.
