In the middle of my third Hollywood picture The Magician, the earthquake hit Hollywood. Not the real earthquake. Just the talkies.

I can see now that I should have been strong enough to conquer myself.

Have you ever walked late at night through a forest when you are first in love?

After my mother died, I found, a little book of hers which recorded everything I had ever done, how I had done it, and how proud she was of her son Conrad.

My father died. It is still a deep regret to me this day that in choosing acting as my career I was forced to hurt him. He died too early to see I had done the right, the only thing.

So now it is time to disassemble the parts of the jigsaw puzzle or to piece another one together, for I find that, having come to the end of my story, my life is just beginning.

What use is there for a biography of myself? I'm just a movie actor.

An actor remembers his first piece of published praise. It is written on his heart.

For me, half the joy of achieving has been the struggle and the fight, the pitting myself against the world and all its competition - and winning.

No, I was not born with a monocle in my eye.
