Sometimes I wish I had a really bad car accident so my face would get smashed up and I'd look like Eddie Constantine. It's so tiring being everybody's darling boy at my age ...

When you saw the new faces queuing up, like bloody comets, who would strike the screen and leave an old worshiped star obsolete in no time. Nobody will ever understand what this did to people, how it destroyed them, made them hollow ... Jesus Christ, I don't want to become an ageless matinée idol, having to keep up my looks, lift my chin like Marlene and never dare smile in case my face cracks. Hide
