After doing a bunch of movies as a stuntman, I realized that being a stuntman, you are in the shadow of the actor, and they don't get to see your true ability, and I wanted people to see that it was really me doing those stunts, and it was really my true abilities.
Sometimes, I'll be flipping the channel at home and think, 'Wow, there's a lot of me on TV.'
I've lived publicly and never hidden behind closed doors. Therefore, if I have gone over the top sometimes, it has been visible.
I find it hard to imagine how someone listens to my stuff, or views what I do, or me, or anything.
Not everybody can see every moment of their life displayed by one set of people. It's just not going to happen.
I don't put myself out there, so people aren't necessarily familiar with me or my face.
When I am spotted somewhere, it means that my characterizations haven't covered up Eleanor Parker the person. I prefer it the other way around.
You put this face on television, week in, week out, they'd stop me and they'd say, 'Hey, Roy, how are you doing?' They'd know who I was, what I was, what I looked like, and what I did - all from seeing and hearing it at the same time on television.
I am no longer able to be anonymous.
