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

I'm the most gregarious of men and love good company, but never less alone when alone.

I'm not working-class: I come from the criminal classes.

If I'm not at my study by 10:00, 10:30, forget it, I can't write a word.

I'm a working stiff, baby, just like everybody else.

I loved doing My Favorite Year, which was great fun, and The Ruling Class, which I made with all my chums.

No one can take Jesus away from me.... There's no doubt there was a historical figure of tremendous importance, with enormous notions. Such as peace.
