Life is like a B-picture script! It is that corny. If I had my life story offered to me to film, I'd turn it down.

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

Being seventy has its advantages. I was outspoken before, but now what have I got to keep quiet about?

I bought the book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I paid to have it made into a play and I played in it for six months. I came back and I tried to make it into a movie, without success.

Listen - pacemaker, crash, stroke. What does it mean? God doesn't want me now. That's all.

What would my parents think about America if they arrived here today? Would they even want to come? I wonder.

In order to achieve anything you must be brave enough to fail.
