I loved the business but as an actor you wait for your agent to call. If you work two or three months out of the year, you are real lucky.
The Hollywood I grew up in used to be a wonderful and magical place, with great folks. Now it is somewhere I would never want to be.
"If I died tomorrow, I experienced so many wonderful things, and met so
many great people, and I lived in a great time in Hollywood... I was
very fortunate, I had a great and full life".
My creed was always this from Yankee Doodle Dandy, I've been in this
business a long time and I've never met a performer who, in the long
run, wouldn't rather be a great guy than a great actor.
