I don't think an actor ever wants to establish an image. That certainly hurt me, and yet that is also what made me successful and eventually able to do more challenging roles.

I always thought I was a pretty terrible actor.

I suddenly realized that the fellow who didn't show up was getting about fifty-times more money than I was getting. So I thought, 'this is silly,' and became an actor. I certainly never thought I'd wind up in motion pictures. That was far beyond anything I'd ever dreamed of.

When I first started out, I was a bad actor.

It's well known that actors are lousy writers.

When I was young, I did actually model and was much photographed by famous photographers. But I was always a bookworm.

I'm no actor, and I've got 64 pictures to prove it.

I made some good pictures, and I made some bad ones. I wasn't trying to build an image, though; I was trying to build a life for myself.

I'm just a photographer, not a movie star.
