Hey, I always say: if you want a quiet life, become a monk.

Acting is not a competition; everything must be done for the good of the film or else everybody loses.

I must admit, the only reason I joined an amateur dramatic society is because I couldn't get to kiss any girls - I was chasing girls all the time - and so I thought if I join it, there might be some love scenes. And there was a particular girl and I thought I might get to kiss Amy. I never did get to kiss Amy but I did get to kiss Elizabeth Taylor, so it was all right, a lot later.

I've been on movies where I literally couldn't hear what the other actor was saying. It's very awkward.

In my day, the drug was alcohol and the weapon was a fist, so it was very sort of innocent and primitive. Now you've got drugs, guns, and knives, which are so lethal.

I'm always slightly envious of people who become extremely rich without anyone knowing who the hell they are, like financiers.

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