QUOTES:

I never lost my appetite for acting.

Having the critics praise you is like having the hangman say you’ve got a pretty neck.

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.

But Clint [Eastwood] I love, because Clint was my mentor. I knew nothing about making an Italian movie.

When you have to shoot, shoot, don’t talk.

When I saw the movie, I said, “I wish I had heard the music. I would have ridden the horse differently.”.

I’ve never lost my appetite for acting; it’s innovative and challenging.

And that movie was underrated – Nuts (1987) – because it deals with a terrible subject, but It’s very well done.

And I did Batman (1966), too. I did Mr. Freeze. I get more mail for him than anything I’ve ever done.

Even if I don’t want to slow down, I’m slowing down.
