I was well traveled, and I created this illusion of literacy through reading and writing. I wrote a book of short stories.
I never starved. And you know, whatever talent I have, I've relied on that, versus image or star. I have just said, 'Hire me if you want somebody good.' I tried to be as good as I could be every time out, and that's kind of bridged the decades.
