You know, when you choose to make your living as an actor, it's all fine and good to look at it as some kind of artistic endeavor. At its best, it is that. But the fact is, most of the actors out there don't earn $3 million a picture and can't afford to take two years off between films and look for the right thing. Most of us are tradesmen. ↗

I don't over-sing anymore, which I used to suffer from terribly because I couldn't hear myself. ↗

I had me jaw broken, and so my chin stuck way out. That's how I became tough - I learned to pick up anything and fight back. ↗

I think Pete did have a hard time as a kid with his appearance. But don't all kids have a hard time? God, I had a hard time, too. I was little with bow legs and rickets. I used to get picked on like everybody used to get picked on. ↗
