Television has some lovely aspects to it - and some ghastly aspects - but the theater itself was a wonderful invention.

I was absolutely delighted that those shows have been preserved.

I like most of the Humphrey Bogart movies because they had to act then, and they acted very well. Edward G. Robinson is probably the best actor I've ever seen on the movies.

Until the year 1967, it was a crime, for which you could be put in prison, to make homosexual love to someone in your own house. If they came in and caught you at it, you could be put into prison. This has changed - I'm talking about England, incidentally.

I mean, everyone says Citizen Kane. It isn't that great, anyway. And Orson Welles I knew well, of course. He made other incredible films that no one would let him make, which were much better than Citizen Kane, really.

And there was a very famous man called Michael Powell, who probably is the greatest director all round, except possibly a couple of men.

I went to acting school, but only for nine months. If you're an actor, you know, don't really need to learn how to do it.
