If I could direct it [films] I would be very happy. But the economics of business don't always allow you to do what you want.

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

I don't care where I work. Films are an international business - not an American institution.

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.

I'd like to do more comedy, but i think my forte is still in the heavy. I'd love to do a comic lead, a musical.

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

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.
