I enjoy making people laugh. The trick is to tell them jokes against yourself. If you praise yourself, your stories aren't funny.

I had been nine years in the theatre and hadn't had massive success. My only thing was I wanted to be an actor and I didn't care when, where, or how much for.

When I was a young actor I was in a lot of film doing one day work and two days' work, and they've included all those titles, which I don't even remember. I think I've played the lead in about 75 movies.

I've always played very human sort of characters.

You get paid the same for a bad film as you do for a good one.

I had been in that part of the world as a soldier in Korea, so I had been interested in Vietnam.

I need a challenge 'cause I don't get the girl anymore.
