QUOTES:

[on the reason he did not appear in The Godfather Part III (1990)] If they paid Pacino twice what they paid me, that’s fine, but not three or four times, which is what they did. (Francis Ford Coppola) came to my farm, parked his car… went in the kitchen. (I) said: “I know you always wanted the crab cake recipe, let me cook it for you.” Oh, he loves to eat, so I cooked the crab cake… and he wrote it down… and he forgot it, so he called twice. He was… more concerned that he forgot the crab cake recipe than would I be in Godfather III. [January 8, 2004]

[on Hollywood political activists] They should keep their mouths shut.

Being a star is an agent’s dream, not an actor’s.

[on James Dean] I don’t think he was that great. He was good, but there was Brando, and there was founding member Steven Hill in the Actors Studio, those were the two guys. James Dean came in third. Dean was talented, obviously. But he died at a good time.
