Do I believe in God? Yes I do. When you've had a life like mine, you have to.

I did everything. I ran my life exactly as I wanted to, all the time. I never listened to anybody. I'm pig-headed.

The best research for playing a drunk is being a British actor for 20 years.

A lot of people said, Who do you think you are? I told them I know exactly who I am and I'll tell you exactly where I'm going.

I always exposed the weakness rather than the nastiness.

For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.

You start pretending to have fun, you might have a little by accident.

Save your money. You're going to need twice as much money in your old age as you think.

Great acting is about listening to what they are saying ....not waiting to deliver your lines.

I have been rich and I have been poor. I know which one I prefer.

When you reach the top, that's when the climb begins.

My understanding of women goes only as far as the pleasures.

I don't have any regrets because I'm very optimistic, and live each day as though it's the last.

The trouble with women? Elbows.

Maybe it's time we all stop trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day.

To me, growing old is great. It's the very best thing - considering the alternative.

Obsession is a young man's game, and my only excuse is that I never grew old.

I'm every bourgeois nightmare - a Cockney with intelligence and a million dollars.

I don't see myself as anything. I just wander around getting on with my life.
