When it comes to politics, I believe you have to cut the cake so that everybody gets a piece, but at the same time, you have to keep in mind that somebody has to make the cake.

I try to make everyone around me feel comfortable.

I see myself as 38, but you don't notice it.

By the time the Oscars are on I'll be seventy. How many more chances am I going to have to get nominated for an Oscar?

You don't make any money when you're my age. The stars get it all. That's a lie, actually.

I never regret anything. I always said that when I'm old, I want to be sitting there regretting the things that I did and not the things that I didn't do; and now I'm old, and I don't regret anything! I had fun. I had fun, and I'm still having it.

In my early days, I didn't know what a good film or a bad film was, and I was trying to make some money. As it happens I was lucky. I made some good films.
