I did quite enjoy the days when one went for a beer at one's local in Paris and woke up in Corsica.

My dear sir, it haunted me for the rest of my life.

I became a professional cricket teacher about 20 years ago. I had a son born to me when I was 50, and I thought, he needs someone to bowl to him.

He's a scoundrel, young Brad Pitt, who led me, his elderly colleague, astray more than once.

I put steam on the table by being an actor. That is how I live. The longer I live, the more expensive it becomes. So I do my work. And I can't be immensely picky. How many beautiful scripts come in one's lifetime? I have had more than anybody, practically.

You talk about auteur de cinema having things in their heads and putting them all across, can you imagine Shakespeare writing screenplays?

I'm not an actor, I'm a movie star!!!
