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

Always a bridesmaid never a bride my foot!

Films were never in my budget. Didn't occur to me till much later. I hoped for a long, good life, which I've had and I'm having as an actor. I didn't expect the rest.

Pope Paul III was the greatest thief in the history of the church.

When I work with young people, I grab energy from them by the handsful.

In the theater you can chain a blue-assed baboon in the stalls and with a good script, good actors, and a good set you'd have what is called a production. With the cinema someone has to know about lenses and fine things. I have no time for the "auteur de cinema." To me, it's meaningless.

I tell my children to avoid theatre and go into cinema and TV.
