I've never kept a record of anything. I gave away everything: all the posters, the memorabilia that would have been helpful - and financially rewarding.

I don't think I'll ever act again.

You know, the Oscar I was awarded for The Untouchables is a wonderful thing, but I can honestly say that I'd rather have won the U.S. Open Golf Tournament.

I'm fed up with the idiots... the ever-widening gap between people who know how to make movies and the people who green-light the movies.

Most movies shot in Italian don't even bother to record the sound. In fact, sometimes when Fellini works, he doesn't even know what the dialogue is going to be, and he simply has his characters count from 1 to 10, knowing he will loop in their dialogue later.

I have always hated that damn James Bond. I'd like to kill him.

I am not a politician and I have no intention of being one.
