At 69, I got the girl! And it wasn't a 68-year-old girl, either.

I was a repertory actor, which meant that I did a play every week. I was a different character every week; for a year, I was doing 40 or 50 characters.

Wherever I live, if there isn't a restaurant I want to go to of a certain type, then I open it. That's all. For selfish reasons.

There is no point in competing with young talent...I just concentrate on getting better each day.

I think life has got to develop as you get older, and I don't want to be wandering along doing the same old thing. I want more out of life.

A lot of movie stars are not great actors; they're just very good-looking. And when they start to age and they don't have the looks any more, then it's over.

You don't retire from the movies. The movies retire you.
