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.

Making love? It's a communion with a woman. The bed is the holy table. There I find passion -- and purification.

I've always been extremely lucky in my life.

I'm very wary about giving advice. I think it's very dangerous to give advice to people, except if you know them very well.

My philosophy is that when I go out of my room, I'm prepared to love everybody I meet, unless they're bad.

I didn't want to be a slave to any passion anymore. I gave up card playing altogether, even bridge and gambling - more or less. It took me a few years to get out of it.
