In my early days, I didn't know what a good film or a bad film was, and I was trying to make some money. As it happens I was lucky. I made some good films.

I'd never been in one of those great big blockbusters.

There is no point in competing with young talent...I just concentrate on getting better each day.

My understanding of women goes only as far as the pleasures.

I'm hoping there's an afterlife. As you get older, you hope even more fervently.

Just because I have made a point of never losing my accent it doesn't mean I'm an eel-and-pie yob.

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.
