To write an autobiography, you've got to expose other people. I hope to get out of this world as gracefully as possible, without embarrassing anyone.
When people tell you how young you look, they are also telling you how old you are.
I know that, all my life, I've been going around in a fog. You're just a bunch of molecules until you know who you are. You spend your time getting to be a big Hollywood actor. But then what? You've reached a comfortable plateau, and you want to stay on it; you resist change. One day, after many weeks of LSD, my last defense crumbled. To my delight, I found I had a tough inner core of strength. In my youth, I was very dependent upon older men and women. Now people come to me for help!
When people tell you how young you look, they are telling you how old you are.
I have no plans to write an autobiography, I will leave that to others. I'm sure they will turn me into a homosexual or a Nazi spy or something else.

I'm prepared. I have a gun and I know how to shoot, and whoever comes calling without an invitation will get it in the rear end.
I'd like to have made one of those big splashy Technicolor musicals with Rita Hayworth.
