The worst thing for an actor is a director that gets on your nerves and says things that actually confuse you.

That was the beginning of modern acting for me. You don't have to tell a camera everything. It gets bored if you do and wants to look elsewhere.

People ask me to smile for the camera, but somehow it always comes out gloomy.

I loved movies as a teenager and saw as much American cinema as I could, but I hated the English films of the early 60s and had absolutely no point of identification with them.
