I am going to spend my time today just thanking the people that played a role in my career, because I truly do believe that I was blessed by a lot of people that paths crossed mine as I went down the road in my career.
I like to refer to my years with the Angels as the foundation of my career.
My family responsibilities don't conflict with my career. Not at all.
If my career continues along its current arc, people will probably look at me and see a writer who is obsessed with the relationship between rich and poor and with how the rich somehow or other always manage to betray the poor, even when they don't mean to.
I don't really look for specific types of projects any more. I'm not taking care of a career anymore. I'm just having fun acting.
I no longer look at my life and times in the motion picture industry as my career. I just look at it now as something I like and want to do.
When I was working on my career, I was very aware of what I had done, what I wanted to do next. I'm having a good time just reading things that might be interesting to do.
If it hadn't been for the videocassette, I may not have had a career at all.
I've never looked at my career in terms of, What haven't I done that I want to do? I just generally find a story that I think is a good one and go to work.
And my mother caught wind of this. She never had really tried to guide my career or really had any say in my life as an adult, but this was the one time she said she would never speak to me again if I quit acting.
Certainly, it's very easy to fall in love with cash. If you're going to make all your decisions based on cash, you're going to have a pretty naffy career.
Forty years ago, we were on the tail of the Front Page era. There was a different point of view. Reporters and editors were more forgiving of public people. They didn't think they had to stick someone in jail to make a career.
The combination of pictures and words together can be really effective, and I began to realise in my career that unless I wrote my own words, then my message was diluted.
I had a lot of anger inside me and that came out at times that were not particularly advantageous to me career-wise.
I'm living by example by continuing on with my career and having a full, rich life, and I am incidentally gay.
