The very first film I ever saw was during the war. My mother took me, I must have been about 4, and that was Beau Geste, with Gary Cooper.

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.

Denying the popular vote is un-American and anti-democratic.

One can never rack up his goals mere through hard-work, there is a thing in this world which is known as self-confidence.

Laughter is like crying.

Give me where to stand and I will move the earth.

I have thought it my duty to exhibit things as they are, not as they ought to be.

It is often difficult to watch yourself onscreen, especially 60-feet high. As an actor, it is an uncomfortable experience.

While we won't be able to help the 10,000 people who died in last year's [Ebola] outbreak, we can do something to save untold numbers of lives in the future if NIH is working at full strength.

I'm glad that our God is not the guy with a pony-tail who wants to toss a frisbee with His saints.

We must refuse to lean upon the broken staff of human wisdom & cling to the gospel alone as the power of God to save a hardened humanity.

All the publicity about value investing - it's become a very popular thing.
