I'm Sixty-eight, I Cry Every

I Wanted To Be A Jazz Pianist, But I Wasn't Good Enough. I Got Into City College Because I Didn't Have The Grades To Get Into University. I Took Acting Because It Was A Way To Get Three Credits. I Just Needed Three Credits And My Friend Told Me To Take Acting Because It Was Like Gym - Nobody Fails You. I Took It And That's Literally How I Got Involved In Acting.

For Me As An American, The Most Painful Aspect Of This Is That I Believe That Administration Has Taken The Events Of 9/11 And Has Manipulated The Grief Of The Country And I Think That's Reprehensible.

So, Most Of It Was Done Over The Phone. But One Of The First Things I Did As A Director, Because It's One Of The First Things You Should Do, Even Though Most Don't, Is To Ask Good Actors Who They Think Is Right For The Part. They Know Better Than Anybody. But Without Missing A Beat Maggie Said Pauline Collins. I Didn't Know Pauline Because I Hadn't Seen Shirley Valentine, But Then I Saw This Thing That She Did With Woody Allen [you Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger], In Which She Was Wonderful As A Psychic, And I Said To Her On The Phone: "the Dialogue Seemed Improvised."

But I Would Reinvent Myself If I Could. As A Sexy Leading Man! We All Would Like That, But I Don't Know How To.

It's Very Painful For Us To Feel We Deserve A Life. That's The Toughest Thing. That We Deserve To Have A Life. That Can Take A Lifetime.
