I'm a sort of boy next door. If that boy has a good scriptwriter.

Use the difficulties - if you can't avoid them

I come from the slums; I come from a hard background; I come from a poor family; and I was a soldier.

I don't worry about the last shot or the next shot. I concentrate. Every shot gets a clean slate. And when a shot is over, I wipe it out absolutely. Tell a joke or something. If you worry about how you looked, how well you did, you'll go insane.

By the time the Oscars are on I'll be seventy. How many more chances am I going to have to get nominated for an Oscar?

I have been rich and I have been poor. I know which one I prefer.

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