One day, something happened. It made life very precious to me.

Bad guys have always been my bag... I look mean without even trying.

I tried to learn the languages - Italian, Spanish, and German - not to successfully. Working on a European set isn't a hell of a lot different from working on an American set.

Audiences just naturally hate me on screen. I could play a role in a tuxedo and people would think I was rotten. You can do much more with a villain part.

I'll never kick dogs, I'll never hurt a child, I'll never slap a woman - three things I won't do on film.

Being born with a pair of beady eyes was the best thing that ever happened to me.

You go where the work is. It can be in my own back yard, Israel, Spain, or Yugoslavia. We may have the greatest technical efficiency in the world, but our artistic values are not necessarily the best.
