In those days, even as a boy, I watched some people that I knew were living way beyond their means.

I hope this series is good work, but it is in the half-hour medium, which is limited to a kind of mediocrity that sponsors are just dying to have right now, and the public, for some reason, is unconsciously demanding.

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.

A nice, steady job I don't need that bad. I'm not that satisfied with it.

I wouldn't just want to retire.

I had directed a little in summer theater, and I liked it, and I started getting interested in directing, in live television.

From that, I became very anxious to produce something of my own.

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.

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.

They thought in terms of: whatever you had that started you at the box office, this was it.

But I want to do good work, after this series.

No, I was typecast all the time.

Well, they just don't know anything else except that one form of their business, acting, and they don't really want to learn any other part of it, or they would. Directing and producing and putting a show together is very creative, for me.

A lot of people like to run in plays because it's a nice, steady job.

There was nothing real about teenagers - nobody talked about them in those days, nobody did anything about them.

I just knew how to do the one thing I did, and whether I did it well or not depended on who the director was.

I would love to have a good director working with me and going through the early stages of putting a play together with me.

There was never any effort made out there to improve the artist.

They had to start shaving my chin when I was 12 years old because light started to pick it up.
