When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

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

I have difficulty putting words in peoples' mouths. The best dialogue is very, very thin dialogue; you let people improvise and then basically you record what they've improvised and then write it down.

Everyone deserves not just to survive, but to live.

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.

I deal with certain things in my work because of who I am. I make work in order to make people think.

I worked hard, and if you work hard you get the goodies.
