At one point I was doing theater in San Francisco and actually living in the theater. I was broke. I was boxing - working out in a gym - and this trainer got me into the union. He started putting all the guys in his stable into the union. So I started making money, stopped acting and saved, to get to Europe. I kept moving around. Three years later I started acting again, because acting drove me. But I was still restless. I studied acting in New York for only six months before I wanted to get a ship for Europe. I`d heard that in Brooklyn you could get into the Scandinavian maritime union and get a ship without having papers. Wound up in Florida, then New Orleans, then Houston. I eventually came to California, worked in a bowling alley as a short-order cook. I drifted, picked tomatoes and beans and lived in labor camps in Ventura County. I wound up in Big Sur. I just kept moving. I went to Ketchikan, Alaska, lived with the Indians in stilt houses, worked in a lumber mill. And I still knew I would get back into acting. Eventually I traveled to Yugoslavia on a freighter, then went to Valencia, Spain and then on to Tangier. I spent three months in Morocco. I wound up in Rome - and finally started acting. - On his life before acting.
- Fred Ward(Rumor mill -- According to published reports, the Avalanche has reportedly talked to Tampa Bay about a deal that would send Colorado defenseman Bob Boughner to the Lightning. ... Anaheim`s Sergei Fedorov has missed two games with a groin injury, and when he might be healthy enough to return to lineup remains a mystery to everyone, including Fedorov himself.) We`re hoping its day to day, ... but in my mind, it`s not really a truthful assessment because it`s really hard to predict.
- Sergei FedorovI`m frustrated by something, it`s my fault for exposing myself to it in the first place. The rumor mill always seemed like a grass fire to me. Why walk out in the middle of the field, it`s just going to flame out and go away just like everything else does?
- Amy GrantThen my mother had several strokes and my father, who was 85, couldn`t handle it, so Donna came back and we went through the same thing here. She lives in Mill Valley; her group is organizing this event.
- Sally QuinnWe were excited when we were told and we hoped it wasn`t another piece of the rumor mill. No one`s been happy with the big cloud of doubt hanging over the resort and rumors flying around.
- Bob JamesIt`s been quite a phenomenon, really. Curling was on quite late in the evening. It was about midnight or after that, in fact, by the time the game finished. We got an audience of 6.3 million that stayed up to watch the curling final. Now there are only five million people in Scotland, so clearly they weren`t all Scots.
- Robert KellyMothers, unless they were very poor, didn`t work. Both of my parents had to leave education. My mother had to work in a cotton mill until 18 or 19, when she took some training in domestic science.
- Roger BannisterThere is a direct correlation between the number of people employed at the paper mill and our income tax.
- Matt AllenWe do consider this to be a permanent closure. So, at some point, that mill has got to be dismantled. We don`t think that there would be anybody who would be interested in acquiring it.
- Peter GordonThese tree farms in Brazil are growing eucalyptus to full height in 10 years. The fiber is very cheap and they just grow these trees in concentric rings around a huge pulp mill.
- Peter GordonHave this and you'll make the best cornbread you'll ever eat, ... The cornbread made from cornmeal from my mill will beat anything you can buy.
- John RossEvery man who repeats the dogma of Mill that one country is no fit to rule another country must admit that one class is not fit to rule another class.
- Al HaynesI never intended to become a run-of-the-mill person.
- Al HutchinsonThe summer of 1830 I... blasted the tunnel through the rock to take water from the dam above the falls for the mill... In 1831 we lowered the tunnel four feet, and built a new dam across the creek.
- Alena NardingerI can cope with a smack in the face, or at least I should be able to after the number I have had. This one was just run-of-the-mill for me.
- Amy VoelkelIf my impressions are correct, our educational planing mill cuts down all the knots of genius, and reduces the best of the men who go through it to much the same standard.
- Andrea Solari(Before he left New Orleans, the 2004 Masters champion landed yet another of those) opportunities ... On a bad day we get a half million or three quarters of a million people. On a good day, with someone like Phil Mickelson leading the parade, it`s more like a million.
- Andrew WaltonI`ll probably be working. To the ordinary run-of-the-mill person, I think this will just be another day.
- Anne SekelThe disparity between a restaurant`s price and food quality rises in direct proportion to the size of the pepper mill.
