feelings disappointed
I'm disappointed that success hasn't been a Himalayan feeling.
uncles writing grandfather
My grandfather had been a newspaper reporter, as was my uncle. They were pretty good writers and so I thought maybe somewhere down the line I would do some writing.
character men assassins
I do not like assassins, or men of low character.
successful luck endurance
Seventy-five per cent of being successful as an actor is pure luck. The rest is just endurance.
children parent done
Things parents say to children are oftentimes not heard, but in some cases you pick up on things that your parent would like to see you have done.

I was trained to be an actor, not a star. I was trained to play roles, not to deal with fame and agents and lawyers and the press.
