I never went to school. I never went to acting school because I was so scared.

When I go to a country, I go to flea markets, antique stores. I am always looking for something.

Collecting is my joy; it gives me great satisfaction.

Collecting is my passion.

This bikini made me a success.

I was under contract to Paramount. They wanted to make me into somebody which I was not. So I got so scared and rebelled, so they threw me out of the studio.

They offered me one cover about 10 years ago, and I said, no, I can't do it. I'm happy to cover up now.

I never went to school. I never went to acting school because I was so scared.

I hate to look at myself in a mirror, and I never go and see films.

Everything is a piece of me, a moment of my life.

I have no problem with nudity. I can look at myself. I like walking around nude. It doesn't bother me. I see all the people walking around nude; it doesn't bother me.

I wanted to be a decorator. I wanted to interior design homes and do everything myself.

I live in Italy. I visit my family in Switzerland.

I don't have time to think about age. There are so many things to do.

Elvis and I continued to be friends, and I saw him once or twice a year. But he was a troubled person.

I fell from the sky. I'm a parachutist, and I missed my mark.

Don't take anything from me because I'll track it down.

I couldn't live up to it. So I chose to run away.

I love everything that's beautiful. A lot of things.

It's going to be over soon, so I don't really have time to get busy.

I don't use my body to seduce, no. I just stand there.

I suddenly find out that I'm 60, and I get shocked by the number, because I feel like I'm 20.

I'm always shocked when I see myself because I don't recognize myself.

I take care of my flowers and my cats. And enjoy food. And that's living.

I didn't see Dr. No for a year, but I liked it when I saw it. It was a fun movie. I don't like the Bond movies now. I hate special effects.

If I don't have room for an item, I put it in warehouses.

I hate the word sexy.

I mostly gave away what I had from the James Bond movie.

Even if you have $20,000 to buy an item, you still try to get a good price at antique stores. I collect furniture, rugs, paintings, frames. It's my hobby to go around to shops and markets.

I dont use my body to seduce no. I just stand there.

It was always part of the plan to move into acting.

Be where the acting is. I live in Houston. Dallas is 4 1/2 hours away. I let them know there's no difference.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

In Hungary, acting is a career for which one fits himself as earnestly as one studies for a degree in medicine, law, or philosophy.

I think acting is about forgetting yourself in order to give the best of yourself. It's passing through you more than you're creating it. You're not the flower, but the vase which holds the flower.

In LA, too many people want to go the quickest route from A to B. Method acting offers them that.

I don't see it as a form of healing, because if you have wounds that are bleeding I don't think acting will ever get them to stop. But I find acting is a form of illumination.

Maybe I can't act, but I know the gimmicks. I studied acting all my life and know what's good for me.

I know that if I'd had to go and take an exam for acting, I wouldn't have got anywhere. You don't take exams for acting, you take your courage.

I'm not acting, but I am acting.

I've done a lot of acting. I'm not saying I'm the greatest, but I'd love to act, I'd love to sing.

I had a bonding problem when I went off and boxed for five years. I was over in Europe and Asia fighting because I wanted to do something different; I was tired of acting. But the thing is, when I was done doing that, I couldn't get a job.

Acting for me is not that quid pro quo.

If you're acting, then there's a prescribed way to behave; whereas in life there's no prescribed way. So acting feels like a comfortable way to get through the day.

When I was a kid, the idea of why I wanted acting to be the thing I do for the rest of my life was different. It was, Oh yeah, I'll get girls and be famous.

And then, I suppose, there's also a cinematic reality on top of that. Because it was extremely difficult to keep tabs on, it was quite confusing acting that.

I read. It's also nice for me to get involved in schoolwork, which is a totally different world than acting. It makes me feel like I am doing things that normal people are doing at my age.

It's a living, breathing thing, acting.

A few nights ago I went to a Hollywood screening of a small independent film made by Sally Kirkland, an old friend of mine who also did terrific job acting in it. There were other actors in it and they were all terrific.
