I decided a long time ago but sometimes it takes you 40 years to get around to doing something - and that's the truthful answer.

God knows I've done enough crap in my life to grow a few flowers.

I did a movie called Marathon Man and it was one of my best memories.

I think the most insulting thing you can do to a director is to challenge when he or she is satisfied with your interpretation.

Well, 45-odd years of doing it, so we all pile up the things we like about directors and the things we don't like about directors. And sometimes they're very similar.

I knew that we had an obligation and that was to keep an energy in it and try to keep the audience interested. In fact, I asked some of the actors to take a look at His Girl Friday, a Howard Hawks film with Rosalind Russell and Cary Grant, because they talk over each other and there's a great energy.

Euthanasia is legal in Hollywood. They just kill the film if it doesn't succeed immediately.
