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.

If I'm in theatre, cinema doesn't even cross my mind. Similarly when I'm making a film, theatre doesn't cross my mind.

I never had any ambition to be a star, or whatever it is called, and I'm still embarrassed at the word.

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

The truth is rarely true and never simple.
