Quote

I had to ride a horse once. In 'King Arthur.' I said I could ride, but I had to call for lessons on the day the deal was signed. I started out on this little chunky thing and slowly moved up. It was months of work.

The thing about Hemingway that people forget is that all the stuff he did was at a time where people weren't traveling that much. At 19 he travels to Italy. He goes to the Spanish Civil War. He goes to China, he goes to Africa so at that time to travel that much is really incredible.

I never aspired to be anything. What I've done is beyond my wildest.

I was very keen on playing a victim.

America's been very, very good to me. I've been very lucky and worked a lot there, and appreciate and love the work that I've done.
