I never cling on to hope or certainty. They're the enemies of peace.

When I was a young guy, I knew everything. Now I know very little. I know less and less as the time goes on.

Why love, if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore: only the life I have lived... The pain now is part of the happiness then.

Getting old ain't for the faint of heart.

I worked with Lawrence Olivier some years ago. He was a great mentor.

I'm just an actor. It's the way the script is written, and it's easy. I don't have think about it. When you receive the script, you know pretty well how to play it, apart from little technicalities like the accent.

I remember coming to New York, in 1974 to do a play here called Equis. And I remember the first morning getting up and walking around the streets and I thought, "I'm home." I felt really at peace here.
