...write about your time in Hollywood from the 1950's to the 80's. How would you compare the industry now to when you were first getting started?It was different then. It was a lot more spontaneous. Kids were coming to the city-beautiful girls, good looking guys-and they'd sell themselves around town, hoping someone would pick them up and give them a six-month studio contract. It seems much more calculated now. Not to mention television. Television just eats up everything. You can have a career start over the weekend on television...
...write, "Now, 60 years later after I began, despite all that success, no one will give me a chance to show what I can do." Is that just something that happens to people as they get older in Hollywood, or do you think you have it worse than others?I don't want to play old men on the screen. I don't want to be just sitting in chairs or walking slowly up and down. I'm 83 years old, but I'm as healthy as one can be, and still a fine-looking gentleman. I can fence...

People were waiting hours and hours in line, and they didn't need to. They could write checks, use their ATM cards. We have done a lot of public education since then, and we have Suze Orman who has done some PSAs for us. I think we've got people calmed down...
...forced to shift priorities in an effort to cut costs. Hipsters and middle-aged, middle-class pseudo-hipsters may have to settle for generic brands in order to affordably complete their outfits.At the same time, though, history shows us that we shouldn’t be too quick to write off such a successful brand. In the 30s, during the Great Depression, there was a shift in consumer culture away from products that were seen as foreign or imported toward more homemade goods. A combination of growing isolationism as a foreign policy tool and the encouragement...
