As a character, it's very interesting to play someone who wants to change their life and have him change it.

Somehow I was invited to visit with Audrey Hepburn. I had this afternoon with her, and she gave me a couple things. She was so gracious and everything you would think that she would be.

It would be great if teenagers could make movies. It's sad how some writers think they can write about stuff they don't understand.

I was so lucky that I got to meet certain people. It came through Roddy McDowall, who had become a photographer and would do these portraits of celebrities. Then he would get another well-known person to write a thing. He photographed me when I was 15 or 16, and he got Jason Robards to write the thing because he was sort of my mentor. And Roddy would invite me to these dinner parties that were insane. Like, Elizabeth Taylor and Maureen O'Hara and people that were just crazy. I still can't really believe that I met them.

I was so spoiled in a way. I worked very hard, but there was just a wealth of great roles.

I was always like, "I'm going to be the drunk judge who's like, 'Objection!' 'In chambers!' "

I remember the whole thing with the word ambition. I was messed up for a while because I associated it with certain people who just want to be famous. I think, for a while, it was kind of a dirty word for women.
