My mother and my father were illiterate immigrants from Russia. When I was a child they were constantly amazed that I could go to a building and take a book on any subject. They couldn't believe this access to knowledge we have here in America. They couldn't believe that it was free.

I guess I was a bad boy... Yes, yes, I've had lots of women in my life.

With John Wayne, we argued all the time and we made four pictures.

Love has more depth as you get older.

Maybe there is no peace in this world. I don't know ... But I know as long as we live we must stay true to ourselves.

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

I have always been grateful that my Russian mother and father came to this country to give me a better chance, and I have had a better chance.
