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.

Ill never be as good an actor as I want to be....but I'll be good.

I love creating images, of course, because I'm an artist.

I live for myself and answer to nobody

I don't want to talk about nonsense because it doesn't help me.

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

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