I've got a feeling I'm leaving stardom behind, you know. I'm gradually becoming more of a filmmaker, acquiring a different kind of dignity from that which you achieve in acting. After all, I'm no matinee idol, and I'm getting older. I don't think I can be doing my kind of thing in the seventies; I want to be on more of the creative side of business.

Often the best way to relax is just to go back to work.

I need to have a reason why I'm doing something. Otherwise I'm lost.

If I hadn't made it as an actor, I might have wound up a hood.

Sometimes you have to say goodbye to the things you know and hello to the things you dont.

The world is as good as you are. You've got to learn to like yourself first.
