It wasn't the way I looked at a man, it was the thought behind it.
You go through life in a series of peaks and valleys.
There's always a race against time. I don't think for one moment that
life gets better. How can it? One's body starts to fall apart.
I remember everything, even the dates. But I don't want others to
remember the details, just the image.
I don't think I ever understood Hollywood.

his son, and from the press's reaction you'd have thought I was
committing incest or robbing the cradle!
[To Rex Reed in 1973] I was there for years under contract to MGM, RKO, and Paramount... I don't know how many others. Actually, I do, but who cares? But I don't want others to remember the details, just the image.
I don't think I ever understood Hollywood. Whatever they told me to do, I did. I went to the studio in the morning, stayed on the set all day, then went home, and ate my dinner, and studied my part, and went to sleep.
