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

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.

You're never too old to be crazy.

I've got a lot of back-up because my father was a Catholic, my mother was a Protestant, I was educated by Jews and I'm married to a Muslim. So I won't lose out on a technicality.

My own mentality is that I've retired. They send me these scripts and if I absolutely have to do it, then I go to work.

If I work with a bad actor, my reaction is to immediately become worse than they are.

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.
