Quotes[]
- "Directors never direct me. They just let me loose."
- "I am a ham! And the ham in an actor is what makes him interesting."
- "I never made big money in Hollywood. I was paid in hundreds, the stars got thousands. But I worked with some of the greatest directors in films, and some of the greatest writers. They gave me freedom to do what I can do best and that was gratifying."
- "I've made some of the greatest films ever made ― and a lot of crap, too."
