It wasn't until I saw James Dean that I began to think that maybe I could actually do this. Movies didn't have to be just this fantasy with this impossibly handsome guy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I dream of acting with Kevin Costner. I would love to do a movie with him. Not something funny, but a dramatic role.
I didn't think I'd ever be able to do movies. That was for serious actors.
I directed some movies in the past, and I'd still love to do that. You know, the whole thing is a labor of love, I think.
When I played Dean Martin, he was dead when we made the movie but there would have been nothing better than to spend a week with Dean Martin if I could have.
Whether it be in a small movie or a big movie, I would always be attracted to this role.
Goodness knows, I tried. But I think it's virtually impossible for the right kind of man to be married to a movie star.
It's quite flattering to have Leonardo DiCaprio play you in the movie. He's a great-looking young man.
I was a theater man, so I was never in the situation of being a handsome Hollywood leading man, and then having to age.
I know this sounds kind of crazy, but I think we're all actors.
The first time I met James Franco, he was dressed like James Dean. He was James Dean, literally, filming a biopic.
