My job is to defy the normal.

By instinct I’m an adventurer; by choice I’d like to be a writer; by pure, unadulterated luck, I’m an actor.

I had now made about forty-five pictures, but what had I become? I knew all too well: a phallic symbol. All over the world I was, as a name and personality, equated with sex.

QUOTES:

You once liked the blissful mobility, but then you wonder, who’s the real you? And who’s the chap on the screen? You know, I catch myself acting out my life like a goddamn script.
They’ve great respect for the dead in Hollywood, but none for the living.
I do what I like.
I like my whiskey old and my women young.
[last words] I’ve had a hell of a lot of fun and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it.
I can’t reconcile my gross habits with my net income.
I intend to live the first half of my life. I don’t care about the rest.
The public has always expected me to be a playboy, and a decent chap never lets his public down.
