I began having problems with Warner Bros. They were letting other people do films, and I wasn't doing many, so I walked out for a while.

While I was working in Las Vegas, there was a lot of picture people who approached me and said I should try the movies. At first I thought it was a pretty silly way to make a living.

That's when I came to realize how many people knew me, and I didn't know them from Adam.

Also, I think more and more people are yearning to get out of the big cities, have a garden, and maybe go hunting or fishing.

People are surprised when I tell them that I didn't play football in high school with my size and strength.

One mistake was waiting too long to evacuate. There were serious problems.
