I did a film called 'Patriot Games' with Harrison Ford, and we actually shot three different versions of my death. And they settled on the third.

I'm pretty sure that I was JFK in my past life.

I was very political when JFK ran.

I'm a product of the Kennedy era. Kennedy's Inaugural plus the accident of Dean Rusk brought me into the government. Those were my values.

I did a string of about six or seven Elvis movies, all in a row. He made all of those movies in two years' time. All of them bad. Don't quote me.

I made three films with Douglas, two with Charles Boyer.

Kennedy was a man who liked writers and even I got invited to the White House.

I wish I was making movies back in the days when John Ford made movies and you were a director under contract to a studio. John Ford had years when he made three movies in a year.

I enjoyed working with Ted Kennedy.
