I drank a lot, but I wouldn't have missed it. I look back on it as sort of dreary enjoyment, because I don't have to be there anymore.

I'm having a great life. And I'm 73 and they still phone me up and ask me to do a job here and there.

I just wanted to be a composer; I became an actor by default, really. I got a scholarship to a college of music and drama, hoping to take a scholarship in music. But I ended up as an acting student, so I've stuck with that for the last 50-odd years.

I'm the slowest driver in the world.

People don't always tell you what they are thinking. They just see to it that you don't advance in life.

I love traveling. I like to keep moving. I love the big open spaces in America.

I worked at the Steel Company Of Wales when I was 17. My job was to supply tools to the guys working the blast furnaces.
