Trivia and Quotes

Quotes
  • [on Robert Redford] I can`t stand around like Redford. I`m not that narcissistic. Not that photogenic either.
    (imdb.com)
  • [on working with Vanessa Redgrave in "Yanks"] It`s been a terrific experience working with somebody as good as she is. An incredible actress. I`m in there with a really high-powered dame, you know. You cut back and forth and Vanessa is incredible. Incredible! She`d survive with Marlon Brando and no woman ever has, except maybe Eve Marie Saint at the beginning.
