Maybe it's time we all stop trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day.

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

Great acting is about listening to what they are saying ....not waiting to deliver your lines.

My most useful acting tip came from my pal John Wayne. Talk low, talk slow, and don't say too much.

There was a certain moment. I was about 61 - two, three or four, and I got a script. And I sent it back to the producer saying - "I don't wanna do it. The part's too small." And he sent it back to me, he said, "You shouldn't read the lover. You should read the father.

I have a knack of making villainous people a little bit sympathetic, a bit of fun on screen.

If you're a movie star, you get the girl, you lose the girl, and then you get her back. But if you're a character like me, you lose the girl, then you get another one, then you get another one, then you lose them all, then you lose your life.
