Personal Quotes / Kişisel Alıntılar
""People still see me in The Good Life repeats. I was 25 years younger then. Now I'm an old git with white hair.""""I'm rather low-brow in my film tastes: I love Superman and Jack Nicholson. Jack's very theatrical and doesn't give a damn how much he overplays, he's an extraordinary performer. In a way one learns from him, but he's so brave, he just does it. He doesn't mumble, he gives a performance.""""I was trained as an actor and was taught voice projection and diction, but the fashion nowadays is to speak badly and make terrible noises from the back of your throat.""""Who's the old guy? Old guy's a good actor."" Robert De Niro at a private screening of Much Ado About Nothing (1993).
