I went to the University of Michigan for one year, and fortunately they had a foreign-film cinema, and I discovered it, and I thought I died and went to heaven.

I don't see a lot of films. I'm quite choosy, but there's certain films that stick out.

I think the problem I have with films is that, because there's so much hype around them, they become bigger than they should be, really. There are things that people do every day in their little workshops that they'll take to heaven with them. You've got to realise that it's not everything, making films.

When videotape came so a lot of movies that I do have a kind of afterlife in video. Things where movies that I do would come and go; they still come and go but you can go rent them and see them on TV.

It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.

I always found the film world unpleasant. It's all about the schedule, and never really flew for me.

I love films that make you feel good when you come out and, in my opinion, there's not enough of them these days.

Every film that I have done has a special place in my heart.

My early films were very European based. It was 'As It Is In Heaven,' 'Together,' they were great international successes, but then I did, I think, 60 movies or something.
