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

My star was kind of fading towards the end of the '60s and suddenly I got this call from Fellini, who just appeared to kind of love me!

I wasn't at all sure I could make that sort of leap into that sort of comic book reality.

At this point, it's either for fun or it's for money. I don't take movies that I don't really like.

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

It wasn't until I saw James Dean that I began to think that maybe I could actually do this. Movies didn't have to be just this fantasy with this impossibly handsome guy.

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.
