I was so poor for so long that I didn't use anything. I didn't drive cars, I didn't eat very much. So, I figured the world owed me a debt, so I've been eating very well and have had a very big car for a long time. But I still haven't caught up with my youth.

To be a movie star, you have to carry a movie. And to carry a movie where you play the title role is the supreme example.

In England, I was a Cockney actor. In America, I was an actor.

Since I was 19, I've had the most fun possible every single day, even when I had a rough life. It was the army which taught me about life, and the theater which taught me how good it could be.

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