Films were never in my budget. Didn't occur to me till much later. I hoped for a long, good life, which I've had and I'm having as an actor. I didn't expect the rest.

I'd like to do a hundred different films.

I'd done about 10 movies before I decided I wanted to make acting the main thrust of my career.

I'd maybe done about 12 movies when I decided that this was what I was going to do.

I think by around the time I was about 8 or 9, the idea of filmmaking probably took hold. I made little Super 8 extravaganzas when I was a kid, the first being my own version of 'Romeo and Juliet,' and where I played all the parts except for Juliet.

I had starred in more than 30 successful films, six in a row directed by Cecil B. De Mille.

I haven't done as many films as I would have liked.

I think there's only one or two films where I've had all the financial support I needed. All the rest, I wish I'd had the money to shoot another ten days.
