Money has never been important to me. I come from garbage. I'm a sewer rat who made it here. I have no interest in money and never have.
I'm not from an acting family. I'm from a working class family.
I never even thought about playing professionally. I didn't think that was a possibility for a little kid from Illinois.
I'm not from aristocracy, or anything like that.
What's my status? I'm just a guy from Saginaw, Michigan, trying to make it. But you know, pretty nice crib.
I never figured I'd go into the Hall of Fame. A kid from the Hill.
I was born and have ever remained in the most humble walks of life.
I think if I would have started BIG in America, I would probably never have called it BIG. There was nothing but a little bit of local small country humor in the idea.
