We had talked about growing older. He used to worry that he looked like a kid when he became an actor.

His mother died when he was a little kid, his father didn't understand him, and he was raised by an aunt and uncle and a grandfather on a farm. He had a lot of darkness, without question.

He epitomized that dissatisfied young teenager. He looked like the boy next door, but he behaved differently.

He drove fast, but no faster than anybody else that I knew at the time. A lot of people said he had a death wish. He did not.

It was just terrible. But here was Lugosi: old, addicted, sick. Couldn't take your eyes off him here in this terrible movie. He was fascinating and I became an enormous fan, and I said I want to do this guy justice.

Bad guys don't think they're bad guys. Hitler probably thought he was a wonderful guy doing some wonderful and righteous work for Germany.

I'm very proud of Space 1999. Its success paved the way for other sci-fi shows to follow. My hope is that the DVD release will help it reach a new generation of fans

What can I do to help? I am asking my senator to support political action to end hunger in the greatest country on this planet.
believe writing doors
Any good director creates a playground. That's what they do. They hire the right actor, open the door and let them play because stuff will happen, right then and there. The audience wants to believe that what's going on is happening for the first time, ever. That's what acting is. That's what good scene writing is.
money luxury i-can
God is a luxury I can't afford.
And the 90% they are not is what I do for a living.
