Improvise, Adapt and Overcome!

As you get older you try to do things that please you more. You get a little more selfish. You start thinking I want to do things where I enjoy myself.

I think being able to age gracefully is a very important talent. It is too late for me.

I'm suffering from oxygen deprivation. It's overwhelming watching your career go by.

If you don't pay attention to history, you're destined to repeat it.

You have to go with your instincts. I remember when I was about to make "Fistful of Dollars" a big article came out that said, "Italian Westerns are finished." I said, "Swell." Then, of course, the film came out, and it did something. I'm so glad for the dozens of times I haven't listened along the way.

I had three points I wanted to make. That not everybody in Hollywood is on the left, that Obama has broken a lot of promises he made when he took office, and that the people should feel free to get rid of any politician who's not doing a good job. But I didn't make up my mind exactly what I was going to say until I said it.
