I directed two films, not very successfully, and after that, I went back to being an actor and a producer.

I'm a loner clear down deep to my guts.

Acting is a youthful profession.

When you get old the worst thing is you lose so many friends. Burt Lancaster, Frank Sinatra, John Wayne. People who I loved to work with.

My mother once said, "A beggar must always give to another beggar that's worse off than he is." That has always stuck with me.

Sometimes, the thing that ties you down sets you free.

Streets crowded with people strolling, or sitting at outdoor cafes. And always, talking, gesturing, singing, laughing. I liked Rome immediately.Everybody was a performer.
