I spent 30 years of my life not being wanted at all for films.

I don't have to work, really, but I do enjoy working, and I do enjoy getting paid.

I don't do it often, but I do cry. I also laugh a lot; people tell me I'm funny and I do like to laugh.

The trouble with women? Elbows.

A lot of movie stars are not great actors; they're just very good-looking. And when they start to age and they don't have the looks any more, then it's over.

Books were my window on the world. Growing up at the Elephant and Castle, which was very rough, my paradise was the library.

I have enough money not to do pictures ever. I'm seventy years old. I don't want to get up at 6:30 in the morning and learn ten pages of dialogue to do with a bunch of creeps I don't like. It's gotta be fun for me.
