My portrayal of Fagin was all to do with my experience in comedy and revue.

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

For a film to be made is a small miracle. And sometimes it's a large one.

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.

There are so many things that have to go right for a movie to be good that it's a miracle whenever one is.

Very often some of the religious miracle plays you see on television can be very corny, I find. And so simplistic.

It was amazing that a play that seems dated in this world... A man whose best friend is a six-foot white rabbit... But it caught on, especially with young people - they surprised me most of all.

A play should have barely been rescued from the mess it might just as easily have been.

The film kept me from working as a secretary. It was a real stroke of luck. A miracle.

I was convinced that acting was for fools. I was on the stage when I was eight with my father, he was playing one of those Greek blind guys that sees things and warns people, whilst I was in a blue skirt. I think there were 5,000 people in the theatre, it was ridiculous.
