I Never Feel Sexy. I Have A

Directing Is Too Hard, It Takes Too Much Time, And It Doesn't Pay Very Well.

American Graffiti Was The First Movie Where The Director Let Me Have Any Input. It Was The First Time Anyone Ever Listened To Me. George Thought My Character Should Have A Crew Cut, But I Wasn't Happy With That Idea. I'd Always Had Pretty Long Hair Back Then - In College, Particularly - So I Told George My Character Should Wear A Cowboy Hat. George Thought About It And He Remembered A Bunch Of Guys From Modesto, California, Who Cruised Around, Like My Character, And Wore Cowboy Hats, So It Turned Out That It Actually Fit The Movie.

No One Wants To See A Hero Have To Pick Up His Cane To Hit Someone, But I'm Still Quite Fit Enough To Fake It.

All I Would Tell People Is To Hold Onto What Was Individual About Themselves, Not To Allow Their Ambition For Success To Cause Them To Try To Imitate The Success Of Others. You've Got To Find It On Your Own Terms.

I Wanted To Live The Life, A Different Life. I Didn't Want To Go To The Same Place Every Day And See The Same People And Do The Same Job. I Wanted Interesting Challenges.
