Happy Birthday Christopher Plummer!

I would rather not know about how one gets parts in movies these days.

I couldn't believe when I first got a fan letter from Al Pacino, it was unreal.

I want to paint Montreal as a rather fantastic city, which it was, because nobody knows today what it was like. And I'm one of the last survivors, or rapidly becoming one.

Unless you can surround yourself with as many beautiful things as you can afford, I don`t think life has very much meaning.

Watching the Sound of Music is like being beaten to death with a Hallmark card.

The part of Mike Wallace drew me to the movie because I thought, what an outrageous part to play.
