Life is full of ironies and paradoxes.

I turn up in Los Angeles every now and then, so I can get some big money films in order to finance my smaller money films.

Something like 'Alien,' that was not so easy. If there's any genre I wouldn't mind not having to do anymore, it would be science fiction. It's just all to do with the toys, and there's so much hanging around.

I find it difficult to say, like "which child do you prefer the most", and its a sort of surface choice. I've never known how to quite answer that one adequately.

I was keen on sports-that's how my nose got this way. It's not actually broken; the nose was just pushed up a little bit and moved over. It's an aquiline nose, quite Irish.

Lotte Lenya was all emotion. She wasn't anything but emotion. She was not an intellectual.

I stopped asking a long time ago, "why would you want me to play that?" I'm an actor. That's what I do.
