I met my wife and, for the next ten years, we did no films at all. She did the first movie and then I did several after. My first movie was written by Tennessee Williams and directed by [Elia] Kazan and was called Baby Doll.
All of these stories bounced around in my mind for a long time.
What do I need a movie for? The stage is on a higher level in every way, and a more satisfying medium. Movies, by comparison, are like calendar art next to great paintings. You can't really do very much in movies or in television, but the stage is such an anarchistic medium.
Well, I've maybe gotten 200 requests for interviews about Marilyn, and I just decided I'm gonna do my own.
From the age of four or five. I went to see a lot of Westerns then. But it was silent movies and I loved everything that happened then.
And I did Batman, too. I did Mr. Freeze. I get more mail for him than anything I've ever done.
What is it in my makeup that makes me grab any offer and fly around the world? Will I ever be satisfied? Can't I ever just rest?
I love to tell stories and this is my way of getting them down on paper.
Fifty million dollars is not to be sneezed at. Of course, I never catch cold.
I was an original member of the Actors' Studio.
But I went to the University of Texas in the 30s, and while there I learned to ride. Mostly polo ponies.
And that movie was underrated - Nuts - because it deals with a terrible subject, but It's very well done.
I've worked with wonderful actors like Marlon Brando and Henry Fonda.
