I found this to be interesting in that Hopper mentions the struggle he went through to get where he is/was (R.I.P.), during these 3 interviews with Rose. He went 8 years of not acting much because of adopting James Dean's persona. This was all after appearing in 2 stellar films with Dean. He became too much of a tyrant for directors, with his new style of acting. He would only have it done his way, but minus the star power at the time.
I like the quote at the end, about his career being built out of failure. It stood out and was in particular reassuring to have doubt. I prefer his acting in his more troubled times though, such as in Out of the Blue. He had a raw presence on the screen. Rest in peace Mr. Hopper.
