I Had Achieved So Much Success In My Career And Then Had This Spectacular Fall From Grace That Left Me Unemployed And Living In A Town, Los Angeles, That Is Built On Envy. Once You Fall, People Don't Really Root For You To Come Back Again. I'd Go To Restaurants Where I Always Had The Best Table And Half The Time They Wouldn't Even Let Me Pay. And Then When I Stopped Making Movies, The Same Places Wouldn't Even Give Me A Lousy Table, Never Mind The Best One!

I Had A Bonding Problem When I Went Off And Boxed For Five Years. I Was Over In Europe And Asia Fighting Because I Wanted To Do Something Different; I Was Tired Of Acting. But The Thing Is, When I Was Done Doing That, I Couldn't Get A Job.
