I love films that make you feel good when you come out and, in my opinion, there's not enough of them these days.

I remember saying goodbye to my father the night he left to join the Navy. He didn't have to. He was older than other servicemen and had a family to support but he wanted to be a part of the fight against fascism, not just make movies about it. I admired this about him.

In this country, the only way a minority can get anything done is to make a little noise.

I don't want to die without knowing who I am.

I always carry yeast flakes and bran with me when I travel.

I think I look good for my age. I've always looked younger than I really am. I'm 67 and I look about, maybe 62 or something like that. And I think my healthy lifestyle has paid off. I suffer from osteoarthritis. That's genetic and there's nothing I can do about that, except to try and not jump up and down, but rather swim and bike, instead of jumping up and down.

Someone once said that under the bell jar of compliance, the only thing that blooms is rage.
