I just try to play more and more difficult roles.

My view is that you should always remake failures because then you've got nowhere to go but up.

I'm not a betting man, and even if I was, I certainly wouldn't bet on this! I would not bet on the Best Actor.

I prefer to remake flops. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was a remake of a flop, and The Quiet American is a remake of a flop.

I feel that I helped the working class by just saying there are no barriers, which I consider to be true.

Movie actors earn their living and learn their craft through listening and reacting.

I have enough money not to do pictures ever. I'm seventy years old. I don't want to get up at 6:30 in the morning and learn ten pages of dialogue to do with a bunch of creeps I don't like. It's gotta be fun for me.
