If You Think It's Going To Rain,

You Are Always Hoping That Movie Audiences Are Interested In Characters And Interested In Story Values Rather Than Just Mindless Special Effects. But You Never Know.

A Lot Of People When They Retire, They Just Expire. It Happens To Men More Than Women. Women Usually Have Great Interest In The Family, Because The Family's Always Growing And They're Always Coming To The Rescue.

The Main Thing Is, You Just Want To Have Your Place In History. You Hope That People Will Look Back On It In 15, 20, 30 And Beyond Years, And Say, "that Was An Exciting Film."

When I Used To Be A Contract Player In 1954 At Universal, I Wasn't Getting Good Roles. I Was Getting One-liners, And Then I'd Be Gone. But I'd Hang Around; I'd Watch Guys. And When I Had Days Off, Which Was Most Days, I'd Go Down And Watch Other Sets While They Were Shooting. Watch Joan Crawford Or Whomever. Just Watch How They Worked And How The Director Handled Them. I Didn't Know Anything About Making Movies, And There's A Lot To Learn.
