We live in a world where the more you're working, the more things you do. It's a workaday world.

Great directors can understand the staging in such a way that can make a scene come alive. Others have a certain way of pacing the scene.

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.

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.

It's so funny when people who are not used to making movies get into it. You just can't believe how insufferably boring it is. Waiting around and doing these lines over and over and finally having to go in and loop the lines and dub them.

You need some insecurity if you're an actor. It keeps the pot boiling. I haven't yet started to think about retiring. I was shocked when I heard about Paul Newman retiring at age 82. Most actors just fade away like old soldiers.

I'm naturally shy but I've done this [movie Salomaybe] so much and you get better at it than you would think.
