I Learned Denial From My Mother. I

I Turned Into A Workaholic To The Point Of Where My Health Was In Jeopardy.

Once In A While A Good Opportunity Would Come Along, Like The First 'playhouse 90 Ever To Air - Working In Television Afforded Me My Best Opportunities. The (film) Industry Was Going Through Such Turmoil At The Time - Studios Didn't Know Where To Go Anymore, They Were Falling Apart, Television Was There. They Didn't Know What Kind Of Films People Wanted. The European Films Were Making A Huge Impact Because Those Films Wanted Real People In Real Situations.

I Don't Care Whether People Like Me Or Dislike Me. I'm Not On Earth To Win A Popularity Contest. I'm Here To Be The Best Human Being I Possibly Can Be.

I Was A Major Fan Of People In The Industry, I Was A Major Movie Fan And I Was Just Thrown Into It. I Was Never A Gregarious Kind Of A Young Man. I Was Very Frightened. It Was Difficult To Divorce Myself From Myself.

The People That Really Were Important, That Mattered, Had A Great Foundation. I Had No Training. I Had To Learn While Doing, And It Was Really Difficult.
