- The only two things you can truly depend upon are gravity and greed.
- I'm amazed people read this crap about us--about me most of all.
- One of the most important reasons for living is to do something--live outside of yourself and put together an idea, an idea that you want to explore and then complete. Awaken your creative sensitivities!
- [on his aircraft accident in World War II when his bomber crashed and burned, in which he received severe head injuries and required major facial reconstruction] There are some moments you never get over. That was one of them.
- [In 1994] I used to be 6' 4". Now that I'm old, I slouch. So I'm 6' 3".
- Most of the stuff I do is garbage.
- I go to see maybe seven films a year at the most, and since I only go to see the best, it follows that I very rarely see my own.
- [on filming Without Warning (1980)] I don't particularly care for the so-called Method style of acting, but I was madder than hell at that alien.
