I also think it was important for me and Freddie to be able to have a lot of time to share our lives at the beginning of our marriage rather than my coming home at 9 or 10 at night from the set. Things have really worked out for the best for both of us.
Marriage is something that needs to be worked on every day. I don't know if I'm the one to give marital advice since I've only been married for a little over a year but marriage is certainly easier if you are open trusting and loving.
I didn't think marriage worked. I thought everybody who was married was secretly miserable - that it was something they just put up with for their children.
Babies don't need a vacation but I still see them at the beach... it pisses me off! I'll go over to a little baby and say 'What are you doing here? You haven't worked a day in your life!'
I worked as a lawyer as a member of the teaching staff of a technical college and then I worked principally as legal adviser to Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers Party.
Things happened there that I don't think are the finest hours for anybody whether it was a journalist the legal system or in that case of the political system who would say that was an example of when Washington worked best.
I worked hard learning harmony and theory when I was growing up in Chicago in the 1920s.
Acting has always existed alongside my normal life. It's been a case of learning on the job. I've worked in so many styles with so many people so I've picked bits up from everyone and everything.
I never was good at learning things. I did just enough work to pass. In my opinion it would have been wrong to do more than was just sufficient so I worked as little as possible.
A lot of what I've been learning in the last two years is due to therapy - about my sexuality why things go wrong why relationships haven't worked. It isn't anything to do with anybody else it's to do with me.
