If you do not surrender, I shall be forced to shoot you through the head with a rather large bullet.

It grieves us to produce work that is not perfect.

It is time for me to chuck in the sponge. To retire from films and stage. The heart for it has gone out of me: it won't come back.

I will not be a common man. I will stir the smooth sands of monotony.

It's my job, it's what I do, it's what I'm on earth to do and it's who I am.

My professional acting life, stage and screen, has brought me public support, emotional fulfillment and material comfort. It has brought me together with fine people, good companions with whom I've shared the inevitable lot of all actors: flops and hits.

I can't tell you about acting. You can develop all the skills, voice, gesture, movement, you can develop by exercise and practice but finally fundamentally it's mining from yourself, from your own personality, from what you know. If you can't know it you can have a good guess by people you know or books you've read.
