A sign of growing old is when interviewers start asking you, What would you do differently if you had your life to live over again I give some sort of answer because I dont wish to be rude, but I dont tell them the image that comes into my mind because they would think it vain and frivolous, and no one wants to be a subject for ridicule.

I wasn't allowed to see movies when I was a child. It was against the religion I was raised in, Fundamentalist Baptist.

Then, I went to see all the films by Bergman, Fellini, etc.
When I first saw a Fellini movie, I came out of the movie theatre and decided to become a lawyer! I thought to myself, it's impossible to make something so beautiful!
