I'm still tap dancing. I'm still going.

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

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.

A lot of people only see me as villains.

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!

When I tested for Billy Budd, I had that kind of confidence that comes with the certainty that you're not going to get something. I was very rough around the edges.

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.

All actors are incredibly insecure.

With Fellini, the fear dropped out of my work because it was such a happy experience... hanging out with Fellini, having pasta on the set with Fellini, and going out with Fellini!

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

As a boy I believed I could make myself invisible. I'm not sure that I ever could, but I certainly had the ability to pass unnoticed.

It seems to me that any law that is not enforced and can't be enforced weakens all other laws.

We are what we are at this moment and no more.

Parents always stay older than you, but sibling sort of become adults together, and that complicates that relationship, I think.

Our prayers must not be efforts to bend God to our will but to yield ourselves to His.

I like Chris Christie also. I like him a lot as a person. He didn't do anything to help me when I thinking of running for senate in New Jersey. But I give him a little slack.

What makes man most unhappy is to be deprived not of that which he had, but of that which he did not have, and did not really know.

The devil, that old stager, who leads downward, perhaps, but fiddles all the way!

I do worry about young people in the business who have experienced a lot of success and are punted around doing those manic publicity trails, when you don't really know who you are yet.

Fame is a curse... it was the worst phase of my life, which I thank God I'll never have to go through again.

Man's life is thought, And he, despite his terror, cannot cease Ravening through century after century, Ravening, raging, and uprooting that he may come Into the desolation of reality.
