I've spent most of my mature life trying to prove that I'm not irresponsible.

Old age is the only disease you dont want to be cured of.

I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.

I can think of nothing that an audience won't understand. The only problem is to interest them; once they are interested, they understand anything in the world.

The most personal thing I've put in [Touch of Evil] is my hatred of the abuse of police power. It's better to see a murderer go free than for a policeman to abuse his power.

On my tombstone, I want written: 'He never did 'Love Boat!''

I'd make my promises now if I wasn't so busy arranging to keep them.
