I think creativity is spiritual. I absolutely believe that.

The idea that you can make love and not war really is pretty neat. That thing in Korea, the thing in Israel - that's all over the world. There must be a new way of thinking.

I really like to experiment. That's the only way I can work. It's instinctive.

The difficulty is capturing surprise on film.

With Connery, he does act. He is in complete command. He completely trusts the person first, then the instrument. I've worked with his son also, on a picture in Russia.

I have two brothers buried in the military cemetery in Texas. I don't want to see any more of that.

As much preparation as I had made for the old man Salieri, gestures and so on, the fact is after sitting for hours, your movements are kind of slow.

I'm just having a wonderful time. It's an interesting thing that I'm very comfortable with this material and I don't know why. Maybe it's because I did MacBeth.

Woody Allen sets are very quiet. Extraordinary sense of power from a man who doesn't do anything except just stand there.

There are certain men and women who, from the minute they step in front of a camera, that's exactly where they belong. Connery's one.

If these men decided that they have to go in there and fight, I want them to send their own children and grandchildren. I want them to not send a bunch of strangers' kids in there to fight and die.

The Universe will give us love, happiness, merriment and laughter if we give others love, happiness, merriment and laughter!

But we live in a karaoke society... Many people feel they have to dance to someone else's tune, to sing someone else's song.

It is easier to counterfeit old age than youth.

Man is so perfectable and corruptible he can become a fool through good sense.

Everybody I know in England was raised on Mose Allison.

In drawing, I often think of things as flying buttresses.

Life goes by so fast. It's really - and a lot of times things happen so fast you don't know - how should I react.

I do one sit up a day. I get up in the morning, that's the first half. I lay down at night, that's the second half.

My life, I swear, is, like, 75% public. I have a very small percentage of my life that is private. But I do keep that private life private.

I think I would be a good villain in a James Bond movie.
