All of these stories bounced around in my mind for a long time.

My first Western was called The Magnificent Seven.

John Huston was a superb master. He knew how to make good films. I did three things with him. One is called Independence. It plays in Philadelphia, for free. It's been playing there for 25 years.

Well, I was getting a lot of money then, and I wasn't getting any Hollywood films, so I just did those. I'd always do a play in between. Whenever I ran low on funds, I'd always rush off to do a movie somewhere.

Recipe? Recipe? We don' need no stinkin' recipe.

And that movie was underrated - Nuts - because it deals with a terrible subject, but It's very well done.

I've learned that life is very tricky business: Each person needs to find what they want to do in life and not be dissuaded when people question them.
