I looked it at like this way. To get folks to like you, as a screen player I mean, I figured you had to sort of be their ideal. I don't mean a handsome knight riding a white horse, but a fella who answered the description of a right guy. ↗

I am, as I am; whether hideous, or handsome, depends upon who is made judge. ↗

In those days I would go for an interview and find myself competing with this other chap who would always be younger and taller, and much handsomer than I. ↗
