I can now tell from the envelope whether or not it is a good script.

I'm the most gregarious of men and love good company, but never less alone when alone.
good-life long actors
Films were never in my budget. Didn't occur to me till much later. I hoped for a long, good life, which I've had and I'm having as an actor. I didn't expect the rest.

When my father would come home from the track after a good day, the whole room would light up; it was fairyland. But when he lost, it was black. In our house, it was always either a wake ... or a wedding.

Omar Sharif and I spent nine months in the desert, day after day for nine months.

My dad went at 86. A car killed him. He was crossing the road.
I was apprehensive about bringing off this Homer.

I've stopped acting, but I don't think I've finished using my voice. I could, and probably will, record the whole of Shakespeare's sonnets. They live at the side of my bed and are my constant companions.
