Listen, you make a big movie, you're going into the Coliseum, and people are going to give you the thumbs up or the thumbs down. And that's part of the game. It's part of the fun as well.

When I drive through a field, I want to see green grass sometimes, and I don't want to see black and white.

Confidence is essential, but ego is not.

You've got to work. You've got to want an audience to sit forward in their chairs sometimes, rather than sit back and be bombarded with images.

It's never a good idea for a celebrity to sign autographs or take pictures if a crowd is gathering.

Every woman is just a different kind of problem.

Everything has to evolve or else it perishes.

Most people say I look mean, and because I play so many tough roles and because of my size and my martial arts background, they think I am, but I'm really not.

In many ways, that affection is the real reward for 56 years in the business. Although the money ain't exactly bad either.

I'm a Beatles fan, and I remember in the mid-1980s, when CDs first came out, there was a sound of vinyl and the sound of the needle on it that people loved, and suddenly CDs were threatening.

Whatever you do, do it with intelligence, and keep the end in view.
