They chose me for Lawrence of Arabia because I spoke English, had black hair, black eyes and a moustache. It was all luck.

I had too many big passions in life and it gets in the way of work. You can't concentrate properly on the one thing.

I've always been extremely lucky in my life.

I don't know what sex appeal is. I don't think you can have sex appeal knowingly. The people who seduce me personally are the people who seem not to know they're seductive, and not to know they have sex appeal.

I'll never know what my life would have been like if they hadn't made Lawrence of Arabia. What would I be? I would maybe have 10 children, a very fat wife. I would be very fat myself. I don't know.

Women know when they've got the menopause but men don't quite know. They know it afterwards.

I can't say I gave up totally my passion for women but almost.
