I don't have any regrets because I'm very optimistic, and live each day as though it's the last.

In real life, I'm afraid of heights - and people who get moral convictions... Adolf Hitler in London.

My problem was that I was blond. There were no heroes with blond hair. Robert Taylor and Henry Fonda, they all had dark hair. The only one I found was Van Johnson, who wasn't too cool. He was a nice, homely American boy. So I created my own image. It worked.

For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.

I think it would be great for the Academy to recognize old age.

I prefer to remake flops. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was a remake of a flop, and The Quiet American is a remake of a flop.

My own mentality is that I've retired. They send me these scripts and if I absolutely have to do it, then I go to work.
