I have never lost my faith in God.

I was born into the most remarkable and eccentric family I could possibly have hoped for.

I watch and listen to movies today and am shocked by the way actors deliver their lines. Everybody mumbles now and I don't understand why.

Making movies is just like betting on horses at the racetrack.

My heritage has been my grounding, and it has brought me peace.
