I think the motion picture industry is a stupid business and I despise acting the scenes in short snatches, one at a time. I hate this film work. I am disgusted with myself. On the stage I could never play a part unless I felt it with all my heart and soul.
I am one day going to be working openly in the motion picture industry. When that day comes, I swear to you that I will never sign a term contract with any major studio.
I sincerely hope that I shall always be a credit to my race, and to the motion picture industry.
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.
There's evidence of a social decline in direct proportion to technology and the industrialization of the motion picture industry.
I grew up in Hollywood, California. A lot of my parents' friends were in the motion picture industry, but I saw their doctor friends as more solid. I admired them; there was a peacefulness in them, a sense of purpose that I liked. So I became very interested in being a surgeon.
