I was a terrible little do-gooder, saccharine, most unreal kind of a character - except once in a while a director or script or combination of the two came along where I began to look like something else and sound like something else. |
I was thrilled, naturally, at that age, if somebody wanted me to look and act a couple of years older than I was. |
I would also like to act, once in a while, but not get up every morning at 5:30 or six o'clock and pound into the studio and get home at 7:30 or eight o'clock at night, or act over and over and over every night on Broadway, either. |
I would love to have a good director working with me and going through the early stages of putting a play together with me. |
I wouldn't just want to retire. |
I'm very pleased with where we are right now. At the beginning of the season our goal was to make the playoffs and here we are. |
If it's boring, then it's tiring. |
In those days, even as a boy, I watched some people that I knew were living way beyond their means. |
Keep 'em clear of things like leaves and tree branches and stuff. They run hot. |
No, I was typecast all the time. |
Our defense is playing really well. They've really gelled. We played hard and didn't give up so I was pleased. To hang with (Granite Hills) gives us confidence. |
People like Spencer Tracy held up because they had the background originally, but to this day they never have changed Mr. Gable's role, or most of them. |
So I felt, well, I'll make the money and, with the money, do what I want to do. |
So I'm in that half-hour business where the most money is, so that eventually I feel like the people that put on the Dupont show, like maybe my artistic effort is going to be a little different. |
So if I keep making mistakes on Broadway or tape or film, producing, directing or acting, I can go along and do it - so long as I'm not investing too much capital in these things. |
