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

A lot of my best parts I've been the second choice for, so you never get too egotistical about anything.

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.

When it comes to politics, I believe you have to cut the cake so that everybody gets a piece, but at the same time, you have to keep in mind that somebody has to make the cake.

You don't retire from the movies. The movies retire you.

I enjoy making people laugh. The trick is to tell them jokes against yourself. If you praise yourself, your stories aren't funny.

A lot of people said, Who do you think you are? I told them I know exactly who I am and I'll tell you exactly where I'm going.
