My criterion for accepting a role isn't based on what I would like to do. I try to consider what the audience would like to see me do and I thought kids would adore Star Wars.

Who wants to see me as Hamlet? Very few. But millions want to see me as Frankenstein so that's the one I do.

I hate repetition, I really do. It's like asking a painter to paint the same picture every day of his life.

I hope this doesn't sound pompous but I don't think of myself as famous, whatever fame I've got has come through what I've done and associations of things I've done.

That I should turn up at the precise moment was one of those extraordinarily lucky breaks which we all need at some time or other during this life, but don't always get.

I'm always glad to be offered roles, but wouldn't take any role as this could do you more harm than good, but I've been at what they call 'on the top' as far as being known for twenty years.

We live by the power of God.

The moment after being let go, when we can finally let it go, is the moment when love once again has hope.

If it was my business, I wouldn't talk about it. It is very vulgar to talk about one's business. Only people like stockbroker's do that, and then merely at dinner parties.

After a bad trip, don't carry your luggage on board the next flight. Stay grounded til you figure out a new way to travel.

Sopping, and with no sign of stopping, either- then a breather. Warm again, storm again- what is the norm, again? It's fine, it's not, it's suddenly hot: Boom, crash, lightning flash!

Africa is on the move; a new Africa is emerging!

I see things as they happen pretty quick, and I just go hit it.

Most women do not want to be liberated from their essential natures as women.

I got my lips chewed off by a dingo!

As clouds are blown away by the wind, the thirst for material pleasures will be driven away by the utterance of the Lord's name.
