I Gave Up Shame A Long Time

Having Grown Up In The Theater Family, Having Done A Huge Amount Of Acting From A Very Little Boy To Precocious Teenager In Shakespeare Festivals That My Father Produced, I Went Off To College And Fell In With The Theater Gang. I Was Already An Experienced Actor. I Became A Kind Of Campus Star. I Heard All This Applause And Laughter.

I'm A Con Artist In That I'm An Actor. I Make People Believe Something Is Real When They Know Perfectly Well It Isn't.

I Was Very Interested In Being A Painter. I Had Facility, I Had Talent, And I Loved Painting And Printmaking, And I Was Quite Serious About It.

Up There With My Awards, I Have A Great Big Statue Of Groucho Marx, Just To Put Everything In Perspective.

Look At The Darkest Hit Musicals - Cabaret, West Side Story, Carousel - They Are Exuberant Experiences. They Send You Out Of The Theater Filled With Music
