Unless I try, I'm never really going to be at ease with myself.

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.

Not that easy to have tears in your heart but a smile on your lips.

Profit is the celebration of service.

A smile costs nothing in money, time, or effort but it is literally true that it can be of supreme importance in ones life.

Seek happiness and you may or may not find it; seek grievances and you are guaranteed success.

When I awake Yesterday is far away When I awake I don't recall your name, my only friend.

You! You are so lucky you're dead.

After an age of leaves and feathers someone dead thought of the mountain as money and cut the trees that were here and the wind and the rain at night. It is hard to say it.

The more closely you look at one thing, the less closely can you see something else.

There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes!
