When my stepmother had my sister, Katharine Hepburn dropped by to say hello. She came with George Cukor, who wasn't a star, but he was a famous director.

I grew up in Hollywood. Saying my name here is like mentioning Ford in Detroit.

If you're playing with the best, you just rise up to that level.
