Alfie was the first time I was above the title; the first time I became a star in America.

I didn't want to come in the movie every so often, every 20 minutes saying, 'Dinner is served, would you like coffee?'

Funny things happen to you in movies for silly reasons.

I am a great admirer of other actors, but I never compete with other actors. I always compete with what I did last, and I'm my own most vicious critic. So I'm always trying to do it better.

Hollywood is a cross between a health farm, a recreation center and an insane asylum. It's a company town, and I happen to like the company!

For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.

I don't work very much, and I just sit here waiting for a script that I can't refuse - and I'm not talking about money.
