It turned out that time doesn't heal the wound , but in its so merciful way , blunts the edges ever so slightly

My movies are always being played on television, I'm very well known and all that stuff - I go all over the world, I have access to many things, many people, many places and it's wonderful. But now I'm at a point where...I thought it was time to show some of it, to show some of my feelings about things and what I preferred at the time. I prefer them still but not to the extent I did at the time.

I'm not a violent person, never was, but I have this temperament that I've always displayed. I guess it has to do with my tradition and being Italian, we're very outgoing with our emotions.

Drinking and smoking grass were a part of my life as far back as I can remember.

If you can identify with people, you can empathize with people and therefore you understand things.

People are always asking me to do Shakespeare - at home, at colleges, on film locations, in restaurants. It's like playing a piece of music, getting all the notes. It's great therapy.

Certainly the movies were always in the air for me. I come from the era when actors thought it was a big deal to be in the movies.
