“I watched a lot of Douglas Fairbanks movies. He always played the same role with a mustache. Zorro had a mustache. The Musketeer had a mustache. Tarzan had a mustache.”
“For me, I loved it. I only want to make silent movies now.”
“It was always about the story rather than the character.”
“I think I'm more demanding than any wife.”
“I don't want to become a superstar and not see my family anymore.”
“I've never concerned myself with the labels people want to put on you. What matters to me is my own estimation.”
“I wasn't dyslexic, I was just very slow. I passed my time daydreaming.”
