I never retired.

I never wanted to retire. I wanted to kind of shift my work pattern so I could stay fresh and invigorated, and use the experience that I had gained in 30 years, but in a slightly different direction.

I will never retire unless I have to.

The only time I ever really consider retiring is when I get fed up with the press. Which is often.

I'll never retire. I like what I'm doing.

Retire? I will never retire.

I see all these old people who don't have anything to do but eat, drink and sleep. I will never say 'retired' because that's such a finality that I don't want to be part of my life. I'll work until they throw me in a box.

I only work every couple of years. I go into retirement between films.

I don't suppose I'll ever retire completely.

I regard myself as someone who is retired but who occasionally goes out to work. In fact, I'm offered so much good stuff that it's not so occasional.
