I want to live every moment totally and intensely. Even when I'm giving an interview or talking to people, that's all that I'm thinking about.
From Omar Sharif
Women know when they've got the menopause but men don't quite know. They know it afterwards.
I had too many big passions in life and it gets in the way of work. You can't concentrate properly on the one thing.
I can't say I gave up totally my passion for women but almost.
I didn't want to be a slave to any passion anymore. I gave up card playing altogether, even bridge and gambling - more or less. It took me a few years to get out of it.
The reason it has relevance is because I, as a popular Arab personality - the Arab people like me and respect me - thought it was time for me to make an ever so tiny statement about what I thought about this whole thing.
This is one of the factors that also made me very much want to make this film, apart from the fact that I loved it. If the boy hadn't been Jewish and the man hadn't been Muslim, it wouldn't have made any difference to the film. I don't think it's relevant, really.
He read his mind. He's a strange sort of man, isn't he? It's not just the advice and the wisdom that he has.
They didn't accept me theory - not a theory, but just a thought I had about this character. I noticed that this man only exists when the boy comes into the grocery.
