Someone said to me the other day: Well, you're eventually going to live until 110. And I said: Well, who's going to keep me? What age do I retire? 100? How are you going to live all those years and who is going to keep you doing it? I have a couple of grandchildren now so I'm banking on them.

I've been acting a long time, and I can play a Cockney gangster or a womanizer in my sleep or standing on my head.

A French Nazi is about as far away from me as I can possibly get without actually going to Mars or something.
