A lot of people want to retire; I couldn't. You don't retire in our business. What, play golf and watch television? Oh, please.
I actually was brought up by an Airedale. I don't really remember my parents, especially my mother. It was only the dog that I saw.
I admire Ridley Scott, and I'm thrilled to be making a movie for him.
I couldn't believe when I first got a fan letter from Al Pacino, it was unreal.
I hate turbulence in life, but also on planes.
I think anger does fuel a successful acting career. To play the great roles, you have to learn how to blaze.
I thought, 'If I make 35, it'll be okay,' and then at 40, I got scared, and now that I'm 81, I'm scared to death.
I was an only child, so I was very demanding. I enjoyed it thoroughly, but I wasn't very pleasant.
I would rather not know about how one gets parts in movies these days.
I'm insatiably ambitious.
I'm too old-fashioned to use a computer. I'm too old-fashioned to use a quill.
I'm used to big roles and lots of words.
In Stratford you either turn into an alcoholic or you better write.
Most of my life I have played a lot of famous people but most of them were dead so you have a poetic license.
Never forget your sense of humour.
