When you become a star, you don't change - everyone else does.

When I made Spartacus during the McCarthy Era, we were losing our freedom. It was an awful, awful way. McCarthy saw Communists everywhere, in every level of government and they concentrated on Hollywood and especially on Hollywood writers.

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

I've played some good guys as well, in Spartacus, Paths of Glory and my favorite picture, Lonely Are the Brave, so I had a mixture of parts in my life.

I never had any desire to be a film actor. I never thought I was the good-looking movie type, which I assumed they wanted.

The first thing I look for in a woman is warmth-femininity. It's got nothing to do with a pretty face.

When you become a star, you don't change - everyone else does.
