How would I like to be seen? Very endearing, charming, intelligent, handsome.

Million bucks won't see you through a major health crisis.

As a means of supporting experiential element in film, once I begin to work on a particular movie I consider myself to be the tool of the director.

I would never want to vilify somebody who considered abortion murder. I was an illegitimate child myself. I may not have existed today.

I began to think that the finest modern writer was the screen actor. This was in the spirit of the Fifties where a very antiliterary literature was emerging - Kenneth Patchen and others. I kind of believed what Nietzsche said, that nothing not written in your blood is worth reading; it's just more pollution of the airwaves.

At 55 I said the probability is I won't have another relationship. I just didn't want to start another family. Between my own bizarre criteria and taste and the fact that I'm not available for many things I thought it was unlikely. Once you know the science about it, I don't think anybody should consider being committed to a real eternal relationship until you're through something called the infatuation circle.

I'm an actor who they said was wrinkled and balding and everything else when I was in my early 30's. Most of the people who wrote that who thought they were younger than me are now bald and wrinkled.
