My only ambition when I came to Hollywood was to pay my rent.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Hollywood's never really been the ultimate goal for me.
The only reason I'm in Hollywood is that I don't have the moral courage to refuse the money.
Apart from earning an awful lot of money, why would you go to Hollywood?
Everybody told me to stay in Hollywood. This was the place they said I could have a big career. What they failed to mention was that no one would quite know what to do with me.
I don't think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought I was normal, but I am dedicated to my work and that's what counts.
It was the only ambition I ever had - not to be a dancer or Hollywood movie star, but to be a housewife in a good marriage.
I stuck around in Hollywood for too long. I was there a long time, and when I left, I was smart enough to realise that what I was leaving was not just the movie business. I wanted to get rid of the whole atmosphere.
My goal was just to work regularly. I didn't ever expect to be rich or famous. I wanted to be a working character actor.
As for Hollywood, I've got a killer job, and I'm having a blast. I have the luxury to go on trips whenever I want and invite my friends who can't afford it. And, God willing, I'll be able to do all that till the day I die.
When you think of Hollywood, you think of the land of opportunity. I always want to have the opportunity to do things conducive to my career.
