'The Replacements' is where I met Jon Favreau, and we just clicked like, you know, like kids at a camp.

You know you've been around when they start to remake your own movies when you're still alive.

I terribly miss - we all miss, I think - somebody like the great producer Irving Thalberg. He had a foot in both camps: He understood us creative people. And he understood the money people.

'Raiders of the Lost Ark' made me want to make films. I am wild about the films of John Carpenter, Ridley Scott, Howard Hawks and Sam Peckinpah.

When I did 'The Great Escape,' I kept thinking, 'If they were making a movie of my life, that's what they'd call it - the great escape.'

Fate destined me to play Fagin. It was the part of a lifetime, and I was the only actor to be in the stage production and in the film.

I think of the Replacements only when they're brought up to me. For two years, I'm at home, they don't really cross my mind. I still hear them on the radio. I'm not ashamed of anything we did.

Fate destined me to play 'Fagin.' It was the part of a lifetime.

Most actors go, 'I read the script and fell in love with it'; I fall in love with the directors.

There are a lot of movies that I don't care about, especially not remakes.
