afterlife
I'm hoping there's an afterlife. As you get older, you hope even more fervently.
voice done mouths
I've done a lot of radio in my life so I am absolutely used of working with the voice. I have a very distinctive voice so it's always great for me because I open my mouth and everybody knows who it is.
morning fun years
I have enough money not to do pictures ever. I'm seventy years old. I don't want to get up at 6:30 in the morning and learn ten pages of dialogue to do with a bunch of creeps I don't like. It's gotta be fun for me.
fun people knack
I have a knack of making villainous people a little bit sympathetic, a bit of fun on screen.
needs gardener gym
If you're a gardener you don't need a gym. You're always carrying large sacks of manure all over.
gun knives alcohol
In my day, the drug was alcohol and the weapon was a fist, so it was very sort of innocent and primitive. Now you've got drugs, guns, and knives, which are so lethal.
country party vote
We should vote for the welfare of the country, not for the welfare of the party.
real people height
In real life, I'm afraid of heights - and people who get moral convictions... Adolf Hitler in London.
regret optimistic lasts
I don't have any regrets because I'm very optimistic, and live each day as though it's the last.
wine red drink
I'm very, very family oriented. I'm a big cook and a good connoisseur and I only drink very good red wines now.
circles actors circle-of-friends
My circle of friends are not actors at all. None of them are actors, really, because they're are not available. They're always off somewhere.
actors ifs
If you're a leading actor you don't work with another actor. You work with a lady.
people acting looks
You must always steal, but only from the best people. Steal any trick that looks worthwhile. If you see Vivien Leigh or Robert DeNiro or Meryl Streep do something stunningly effective, and you can analyze how he or she did it, then pinch it. Because you can be sure that they stole it in the first place.
successful remember wealthy
You have to remember, I never became successful or wealthy till I was 30.
