That's all I'm interested in
love-and the lack of it.
My father came over to America
when he was 11 years old.
He was born in Piraeus, Greece...
and he heard about this country when
a missionary came through town one day...
saying there was
brotherhood in America.
That if you wanted to work and learn...
the American people would open
their arms and hearts to you.
My parents allowed their two sons
to be individuals.
My family was
a wild and wonderful place...
with lots of friends and neighbors
visiting and talking loud and eating loud.
And nobody telling their children
to be quiet or putting them down.
When we had money,
we went to the movies.
When we didn't, we sat around
the kitchen table and told stories.
I was a totally uninterested student
in high school.
I didn't want to
go to college because...
college in the '50s
was just a way of getting a diploma.
I hitchhiked down to Florida
for a few weeks, and when I got back home...
I bumped into some friends of mine-
funny, funny guys.
"Hey,John, wejust signed up...
"at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts
to become actors, man.
Come with us.
The school's packed with girls. "
I'd get up on stage and shout.
A couple of the teachers liked that
because it showed a lot of enthusiasm.
For a long time, that's all I thought acting
was about- to show a lot of emotion.
I attended the academy for a year
and then spent two years making the rounds.
There's something about the motivation
of fear that makes you work terribly hard.
But as an actor,you don't get the freedom
to function the way you'd like to.
I know I never got the lines I wanted
under other directors.
I wanted to direct...
to find out everything I'm capable of
and to make the most of it...
whether people like it or not.
I believe that when you're young...
you should go to all the places
you're uncomfortable in and prove yourself.
Because someday you're gonna
have to prove yourself.
When I saw her, that was it.
I said, "That's the girl I'm gonna marry. "
Well, it was
a hard struggle to convince her.
I kept Gena under constant scrutiny.
I was enormouslyjealous,
filled with suspicions about other men...
and with the terror
that those suspicions might be correct.
She wouldn't put up with that,
and finally I relaxed.
In the beginning of our marriage,
I made a bargain.
Gena would fight me to the bitter end,
and I would fight her to the bitter end.
And the bargain never has been broken.
Together we lead a magnificent,
unassembled, emotional and undisciplined life.
I can't think of anyone with whom
