When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk.
I've learned that life is very tricky business: Each person needs to find what they want to do in life and not be dissuaded when people question them.
Having the critics praise you is like having the hangman say you've got a pretty neck.
And I did Batman, too. I did Mr. Freeze. I get more mail for him than anything I've ever done.
I never dreamed I would do Westerns.
John Huston was a superb master. He knew how to make good films. I did three things with him. One is called Independence. It plays in Philadelphia, for free. It's been playing there for 25 years.

Yes, I won the Bafta. I thought the British were very intelligent.
