I've never wanted to become a politician, an interior decorator, I've never wanted to speculate and make a load of money. I just wanted this.

I was very disappointed that so much of the work I did on The Haunted Mansion didn't arrive in the final cut.

A lot of young directors, they're not confident; they're not open to the emotional level of the scene.

Peter Ustinov was the first really positive influence in my career. He was real and he bore witness to it. The things he said to you, he lived them.

All actors are incredibly insecure.

My favorite film is Gene Tierney and Tyrone Power in The Razor's Edge.

I've been doing Tai Chi on and off for 20 years. The fundamentals of all martial arts are the same.
