The Literal, Basic Thing Of The Stage

Playing A Character Is An Illusion, And I Feel That When You Know Too Much About A Person, Possibly Part Of That Illusion Is Disrupted.

Responsibilities Are Relative. My Responsibility Is To A Character In A Script, To A Part I'm Playing.

I Found That Speaking Live To People, Young People, About What I Liked And What Had Been Happening To Me Was Very Good For Me. I Was Quite Overtaken By Success And Fame. I Was One Of Those Types Who Responded To It In A Negative Way. It Was Not Easy.

Failure's Relative. I've Always Felt, Even Early On, If I Lose The Freedom To Fail, Something's Not Right About That. It's How You Treat Failure, Too. There's Something To Learn From It. I've Had Movies That Have Failed Colossally, So You Kind Of Analyze Your Failures: What Kind Of Failure Was It? A Failure Because It's Misunderstood By Others? A Failure Because You Misunderstood It Yourself?

Pretty Soon I'll Start Worrying About [my Fame] Because [my Children] Carry My Name And They Have That Exposure. The Whole Thing Is, They Never Asked For It, That Kingdom.
