I Have Trouble With Direction,

My Grandfather Had Been A Newspaper Reporter, As Was My Uncle. They Were Pretty Good Writers And So I Thought Maybe Somewhere Down The Line I Would Do Some Writing.

The Worst Job I Ever Had Was Working Nights In The Chrysler Building. I Was Part Of A Team Of About Five Guys, And We Polished The Leather Furniture.

I Write In The Morning From About Eight Till Noon, And Sometimes Again A Bit In The Afternoon. In The Morning I Start Off By Going Over What I Had Done The Previous Day, Which My Wife Has Happily Typed Up For Me.

It Really Costs Me A Lot Emotionally To Watch Myself On-screen. I Think Of Myself, And Feel Like I'm Quite Young, And Then I Look At This Old Man With The Baggy Chins And The Tired Eyes And The Receding Hairline And All That.

I Was Trained To Be An Actor, Not A Star. I Was Trained To Play Roles, Not To Deal With Fame And Agents And Lawyers And The Press.
