“My worst roles have been in movies I made solely for the money — like Jaws – The Revenge. I was offered a small part in a fourth of the 'big shark' movies at a tremendous fee, and I took it. I have never seen the film, but by all accounts, it was terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it's terrific.”

“[On his National Service] And then when I was 19 they sent me to Korea – which was not a very nice idea for your 19th birthday. I wasn't a big professional soldier, and it wasn't a big war. The Korean War was like the First World War, we all lived in trenches and fought each other in the dark; but I was still s—t scared, as everybody else was. So I understood those things – death and close friends dying and getting injured.”
