The only concession you can make is to what you believe is right.

From John Huston to Fred Zinnemann and Richard Fleischer and all those great American directors.

I find myself more interested in producing. Not because I'm interested in the financial side of it, but just getting together the right elements to make a film, that side of production. I would not be good on the financial side. It would be a disaster from the beginning.

I think I'd rather do [acting] in the real place. It requires different things, working with green screen, but its an imaginative exercise anyway, the whole business of acting, so it just gives you a bit more to feed the imagination. Unless it's really silly, just two of you stuck in a space with nothing but green screen that's got to be pretty difficult.

There may be arrangements to have me retired but I don't know. Things happen that I enjoy doing, and as long as I enjoy doing them I'll go about doing them, I guess.

It's quite a dangerous career move to go wilfully on making films that may not find a distributor.

As Beckett said, it's not enough to die, one has to be forgotten as well.
