People are still asking me if I knew it was going to be that big of a hit. Yes, we all knew. The only one who didn't know was George.
I think that now most people know someone in their family that is coping with something, but there is still a tremendous amount of shame - that one is still regarded as a defective unit ... if only they would pull up their bootstraps - they are only indulging their emotions, everybody's moody, blah, blah, blah.
I'm in denial in its lesser state. It will take me a second. People around me will notice my mania first. And, my depression.
I was telling some people in my dressing room some of my other stories, my psychotic break, and blah, blah, blah, and no, they kind of look at you and it's just not what they wanted to hear.
Ambition is exhausting. It makes you friends with people for the wrong reasons, just like drugs.
I'm fond of kissing. It's part of my job. God sent me down to kiss a lot of people.
I envy people who have the capacity to sit with another human being and find them endlessly interesting, I would rather watch TV. Of course this becomes eventually known to the other person.
I am a very discreet human when it comes to other people.
People are still asking me if I knew Star Wars was going to be that big of a hit. Yes, we all knew. The only one who didn't know was George.
People see me and they squeal like tropical birds or seals stranded on the beach.
Certainly there are people who like me, but then there are those who don't know me who gossip about me. You can't believe the things I've heard.
You can't find any true closeness in Hollywood, because everybody does the fake closeness so well.
As you get older, the pickings get slimmer, but the people don't.
What I always wanna tell young people now: Pay attention. This isn't gonna happen again. Rather than try to understand it as it's going along, have it go along for a while and then understand it.
