[on his aircraft accident in World War II when his bomber crashed and burned, in which he received severe head injuries and required major facial reconstruction] There are some moments you never get over. That was one of them.

[In 1994] I used to be 6′ 4″. Now that I’m old, I slouch. So I’m 6′ 3″.
Most of the stuff I do is garbage.

I go to see maybe seven films a year at the most, and since I only go to see the best, it follows that I very rarely see my own.

[on filming Without Warning (1980)] I don’t particularly care for the so-called Method style of acting, but I was madder than hell at that alien.
