My home in Hollywood is not a home. I do a film here, a film there, as they want it. I don't have a relationship. Like, Warner Bros. has a great relationship with Clint Eastwood and takes care of him.

Independence is a state of mind. Independence is spirit without category.

I wish that George W. Bush had gone to Vietnam, because he would have seen history in a different light. He would've experienced it in a different light because I don't think he understood the nature of war.

I'm terrible at horror movies, by the way. I get scared so easily.

From '45, the moment Franklin Roosevelt dies, we're running ratlines with the Germans, helping Nazis escape.
