The first thing I'll do if I want to look really crappy is, I don't wear any makeup at all.

I regard myself as someone who is retired but who occasionally goes out to work. In fact, I'm offered so much good stuff that it's not so occasional.

My closest friends are Roger Moore, who is an actor, Sean Connery, who is an actor, Terry O'Neill, who is a photographer, Johnny Gold, who was the boss of Tramp, and Leslie Bricusse, who is a composer.

I'm the happiest grandfather in the world, I promise you.

My problem was that I was blond. There were no heroes with blond hair. Robert Taylor and Henry Fonda, they all had dark hair. The only one I found was Van Johnson, who wasn't too cool. He was a nice, homely American boy. So I created my own image. It worked.

In film, other actors' performances really are not your concern. If the other actor isn't giving you what you want, act as though he were.

Nobody's a criminal to himself. I never play a criminal like a bad person.
