I don't know why it (stardom) happened-but it's kinda nice. Maybe it's because I'm someone off the streets. Maybe people relate to me.

Stardom equals freedom. It's the only equation that matters.

As far as art and filmmaking is concerned, I don't see there's any separation; it's just one continuous thing.

Nobody trusts anyone, or why did they put tilt on a pinball machine.

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.

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

Anything that doesn't make sense, I don't want to give too much of my brain to.
