- Acting has always been in my bones.
- [on working with Charlie Chaplin on A Countess from Hong Kong (1967)]: The film was the most unrewarding experience - not the fantastic experience of working with a genius that you'd expect. I disliked him enormously. You did exactly what he told you, it was almost done by numbers. He was awful, the atmosphere was terrible, Brando never came out of his caravan, no-one was speaking.
- Acting was something I wanted to do, and by good fortune I found I could do it quite well.
- I've never been ambitious. Being a character actor in a high-risk business can be difficult, so it was a joy to be employed. I had no Everest to climb.
