I don't very often read novels.

When you walk with someone, something unspoken happens. Either you match their pace or they match yours.

I always wanted to be someone better the next day than I was the day before.

A good deed here, a good deed there, a good thought here, a good comment there, all added up to my career in one way or another.

I had to satisfy the action fans, the romantic fans, the intellectual fans. It was a terrific burden.

I did not go into the film business to be symbolized as someone else's vision of me.

My father was a certain kind of man - I saw how he treated my mother and his family and how he treated strangers. And I vowed I would never make a film that would not reflect properly on my father's name.
