I met my wife and, for the next ten years, we did no films at all. She did the first movie and then I did several after. My first movie was written by Tennessee Williams and directed by [Elia] Kazan and was called Baby Doll.

If you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working?

What is it in my makeup that makes me grab any offer and fly around the world? Will I ever be satisfied? Can't I ever just rest?

One thing changes every evening: It's the audience, and I'm working my magic. I'm always learning from it.

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.

I always end up being the evil one, and I wouldn't hurt a fly.

When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk.
