Being sober for so many years is getting interesting.

The only exercise I take is walking behind the coffins of friends who took exercise.

One time in the late '50s, when Peter Finch, Laurence Harvey, and I were all offered the same movie role - the assumption being that we weren't friends - we marched up to producer Dino De Laurentiis's door and declared in unison, 'We don't think we're suitable for the part.'

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

It's such a relief for me to sit in front of a tape recorder and not be using it to learn my lines.

The good parts are the people who don't make do. They're the interesting people. Lear doesn't make do.

I don't go for this auto-cannibalism. Very damaging.
