The first actor I ever saw was The Lone Ranger. I thought: "That's what I want to do."

My closest friends are Roger Moore, who is an actor, Sean Connery, who is an actor, Terry O'Neill, who is a photographer, Johnny Gold, who was the boss of Tramp, and Leslie Bricusse, who is a composer.

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.

If you put someone on screen long enough, they become the hero.

That to me is what my idea of film acting should be. There shouldn't be any acting. You should just be watching a real person.

Not only is acting more than a part-time job, it's more than a full-time job. It's a full-time obsession.

But the whole point of the Sixties was that you had to take people as they were. If you came in with us you left your class, and colour, and religion behind, that was what the Sixties was all about.
