The paperback is very interesting but I find it will never replace the hardcover book - it makes a very poor doorstop.

All love scenes started on the set are continued in the dressing room.

Luck is everything... My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film.

I’ve never been very keen on women who hang their sex round their neck like baubles. I think it should be discovered. It’s more interesting to discover the sex in a woman than it is to have it thrown at you, like a Marilyn Monroe or those types. To me they are rather vulgar and obvious.

I always try to look at things as though I were remembering them three years later.

That is the most frightening sight I have ever seen.

I enjoy playing the audience like a piano.
