What kind of man would I have been if I had not been there to help her? I felt along with her - not the physical pain, of course, but all her mental anguish. You can`t be detached.

Someday I`d like a part where I can lean my elbow against a mantlepiece and have a cocktail.

Maybe I`m too masculine. Casting directors cast in their own, or an idealized image. Maybe I don`t look like anybody`s ideal.

I don`t look like someone who leans on a mantelpiece with a cocktail in my hand, you know.

We found that specialists did not know as much as we thought. So, you think maybe there are other answers. There are not but if you belief something will help you it probably will: it will help, not cure.

[1977 comment on Robert Aldrich] A very good director. Beyond that, he has one fault: he is inflexible. He`s horrified if you give him ideas; he only appreciates his own. He wants to use his own brain for everything. That`s his greatest fault. If he wasn`t so inflexible he would be very great. He refuses to give in. Well, it`s impossible for one man to know everything.

Audiences like to see the bad guys get their comeuppance.

Part of the problem is how little we understand about the ultimate betrayal of the body when it rebels against itself. You always worry about charlatans. We found that specialists did not know as much as we thought.

I felt along with her - not the physical pain, of course, but all her mental anguish. You can`t be detached. She needed to have someone who understood what was happening in her mind.

I look like a quarry someone has dynamited.

I don`t have friends, I have thousands of acquaintances. No friends. I figured I had a wife and children.

The fear really hits you. That`s what you feel first. And then it`s the anger and frustration. Part of the problem is how little we understand about the ultimate betrayal of the body when it rebels against itself.

I wouldn`t tell Jill how I felt. I behaved in such a way that was opposite to how I felt. I must have seemed strong to her. I didn`t want to bring her down.

Nobody stays on top forever. Nobody!

I am not a fan of myself.

Acting is the easiest thing I`ve done, I guess that`s why I`m stuck with it.

I guess I look like a rock quarry that someone has dynamited.
