With Fellini, the fear dropped out of my work because it was such a happy experience... hanging out with Fellini, having pasta on the set with Fellini, and going out with Fellini!
In my youth I dreamed of being an illustrator.
At this point, it's either for fun or it's for money. I don't take movies that I don't really like.
What I wanted more than anything was a long career.
Peter Ustinov was the first really positive influence in my career. He was real and he bore witness to it. The things he said to you, he lived them.
It wasn't until I saw James Dean that I began to think that maybe I could actually do this. Movies didn't have to be just this fantasy with this impossibly handsome guy.
I was very disappointed that so much of the work I did on The Haunted Mansion didn't arrive in the final cut.
I work primarily for the camera-it's not something I really talk about a lot, but it's part of the way I am as a movie actor. The camera is my girl, as it were.
A lot of newspapers say, Terence Stamp is playing himself and we're as bored as he is.
A lot of people only see me as villains.
A lot of young directors, they're not confident; they're not open to the emotional level of the scene.
All actors are incredibly insecure.
Although you have some films that are a real bummer, there's always a film that comes up where it's just heaven.
As a boy I believed I could make myself invisible. I'm not sure that I ever could, but I certainly had the ability to pass unnoticed.
He's Soderbergh, we're working for him. It doesn't matter what he's doing; we'll see it at the premiere.
I have always had this energy, which I think of as overdrive.
I have to be stretched in some way. There's not enough things that come my way that I fancy.
I wasn't at all sure I could make that sort of leap into that sort of comic book reality.
I've been doing Tai Chi on and off for 20 years. The fundamentals of all martial arts are the same.
My favorite film is Gene Tierney and Tyrone Power in The Razor's Edge.
