I don't really know anything about the movie business, even though I've lived in Los Angeles my whole life - somehow I've never bumped into it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The more I see of the movie business, the less I understand about it. I have no idea what goes on with that stuff.
I'm in Hollywood - I have no business not being in the movie industry.
But I grew up in a place where no one knew anyone in the entertainment business, I never knew it was an actual career. The closest I ever got to movies was going to watch them, and I thought that's the way it would be, so I never considered working in this business.
The movie business is a big gamble.
I don't know anything about the film industry. I thought I knew films, but apparently, I don't know films or people!
Times change; Hollywood is not the same as it was when I first entered the business. It felt to me like it was starting to narrow down and centralize itself around what would... make money.
I've been in this business 31 years. I've never had a movie deal.
I was never a part of the Actor's Studio, because two friends of mine started it in 1947 and by that time I'd gone to California.
Its not really about the movie business, it's about staying in the picture.
The business that people do in LA on the social level is amazing. You go to a restaurant, bump into this guy or that guy. The next day you get a call, and they want you in their movie.
