[on his wrestling a "wild grizzly bear" (it was actually a docile honey bear] in Day of the Animals (1977)] I had to weave and play around with a honey bear, and I could wrestle with him a little bit, but there`s no way you can even wrestle a honey bear, let alone a grizzly bear that`s standing ten feet to eleven feet tall! Can you imagine? But it was fascinating to work that close to that kind of animal.

[on the part of his career when he played almost exclusively bad guys] The best part is always the heavy. And the meaner and crueler and the worse you are, the more vicious you are as the heavy, the better the hero looks when he whips you. So, the heavy is liable to be a very dramatic, fine acting part. I told my agent at that time, "I want to play heavies who are really vicious and cruel and terrible. I want them to know that they`re terrible and I want them to enjoy it."

The reason they call it `golf` is that all the other four-letter words were used up.

Doing nothing is very hard to do . . . you never know when you`re finished.
