For the most part Hollywood is a world of imagination.
Movies are our cheap and easy expression, the sullen art of displaced persons.
The big stars I felt a kinship with were never the romantic leads. It wasn't Steve McQueen or Robert Redford - it was people like Walter Matthau and Anthony Quinn. My big hero was Tommy Cooper.
I was devastated by Gene Wilder's death.
Cinema is like dream.
I had a great time working on the movies, both the major movies I've done. I've had a great time. I like the people in Hollywood a lot.
I was 12 when I decided that I wanted to see myself on the big screen.
When I was younger I saw a movie called 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' with Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Those two actors and that movie was my inspiration to want to be an actor.
'Border' was the first movie that I watched on the big screen. It always takes me back to my childhood.
You know, they just don't make big movie stars the way they used to, maybe because the system has changed, the studio system, but it's sad to see people like Jimmy Stewart go, all the giants of the past.
The movies have never been a big deal to me. The movies are the movies. They just make them. If they're good, that's terrific. If they're not, they're not. But I see them as a lesser medium than fiction, than literature, and a more ephemeral medium.
When I was a kid going to the movies, we'd go because Bogart was in the movie, or Cagney, or John Wayne. We didn't know what the story was about or anything.
Cinema is dead, long live cinema.
Film is a truly magical medium.
Our memory and the movies keep movie stars alive for us, and Tony Curtis is still a star.
All of life’s riddles are answered in the movies.
I had no desire to be in the movies. All my training had been in the theater, thank God.
Film is something that came later into my life.
Obviously I am not the young man who came to Hollywood in 1946.
I'm blessed to have cool roles in these big movies.
Gene Autry was the most. It may sound like a joke - Go and have a look in my bedroom, It's covered with Gene Autry posters. He was my first musical influence.
My life, my reading, everything about me revolves around the cinema. So for me, cinema is life, and vice-versa.
After our life history was shown on the silver screen and much appreciated by the audiences, I have more of a responsibility on my shoulders now.
Those old westerns are the movies I grew up with on Saturday afternoons at the theater.
I am thrilled. I love movies. I don't have those nagging, regretful feelings about either of them, it is a miracle.
