I'm every bourgeois nightmare - a Cockney with intelligence and a million dollars.

Use the difficulties - if you can't avoid them

The first thing I'll do if I want to look really crappy is, I don't wear any makeup at all.

Hollywood is a cross between a health farm, a recreation center and an insane asylum. It's a company town, and I happen to like the company!

I had been in that part of the world as a soldier in Korea, so I had been interested in Vietnam.

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

I want to stick around with the big boys. I don't want to be in the old folks home.
