Except here it's more power, more energy, younger and also in Europe it's still not only entertainment. Theater or films are looked at as a moral institution. That's why maybe they're so poetic. Here it's clear entertainment.

The interesting thing is that I found scenes which I put together which could appeal to almost every woman, or apply to almost every woman after the war. Falling in love, dancing, marrying.

I did have fun, for example, in The Black Hole which was very popular among youngsters.

First love is first love, first marriage is first marriage, disappointment is disappointment.

I'm always happy when I'm left alone, but if somebody comes and is nice, then we talk.

I played piano, I learned a lot about music.

I think there's a poet who wrote once a tragedy by Shakespeare, a symphony by Beethoven and a thunderstorm are based on the same elements. I think that's a beautiful line.

We should never forget that Hollywood was built by Europeans, and the old Jewish boys from Eastern Europe.

I just think the word interview, although it is the view between two people exchanged, became a sort of cliche. You ask questions and the other one answers.

And it's interesting, but I'm always interested in the story behind the story.

Music in this film is a very important part.

As an actor, I was a fantastic rebel. Then I became a directorial rebel and understood rebels from both sides. So now I am a friend who gives advice - not one who knows more, necessarily, but who shares ideas.

Directing is like meeting a woman. You don't know her, but something strikes you, and then you just have to go into it.

Everything you do has certain significance, a certain weight. I think there is a film in everyone.

I am America's number-one fan. I like your food. Especially corn flakes.

I'll never forget Spencer Tracy. He only worked from nine to one - then from three to five again.

My mother was an actress and a director, as well. And my father was a playwright and poet.

To be honest, I don't think I'm an actor. I'm a creator - or try to be.

When I was a young actor, in my first apartment, the first thing I bought was a Steinway piano. There was no bed at first. I slept on the floor.

I just use my muscles as a conversation piece, like someone walking a cheetah down 42nd Street.

Food was a constant topic of conversation in our household.

A sudden silence in the middle of a conversation suddenly brings us back to essentials: it reveals how dearly we must pay for the invention of speech.

Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while.

What I think we need to do to engage the American people in a conversation about entitlement reform is to have a bipartisan group of people who come together and put every solution on the table, every alternative on the table. And then we ought to engage in a long conversation with the American people so they understand the choices.

It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much.

I can wear a hat or take it off, but either way it's a conversation piece.

The difficulty with this conversation is that it's very different from most of the ones I've had of late. Which, as I explained, have mostly been with trees.

I spend a good portion of my dinner-party conversation defending America because no matter what the political agenda, it's still a fantastic, amazing place.
