Actor

I love to be with my son and my grandchildren, like normal people. I have no particular idea of what I represent to other people. It's very mysterious to me. I don't understand it.

From the age of 31, I have lived in hotels.

I don't know what women are attracted to. I can't tell, but certainly I have no notion of having sex appeal or being seductive in any way.

My mother used to play cards with King Farouk. He believed she brought good luck to him - she was his mascot.

I tried on a moustache, and it was decided I would grow one. I've shaved it off for a couple of films, but otherwise, I've had it ever since.

I see only defects because I'm not following the scene as it were. I'm not following the other person. It's like the best thing to clarify this is the theater.

I was a fat little boy when I was 10 years old! My mother, who didn't speak any English at all, said, 'I know the only thing is to put him in an English boarding school. The food will be so horrible that he'll lose his weight.'

From the age of 31, I have lived in hotels.

My philosophy is that when I go out of my room, I'm prepared to love everybody I meet, unless they're bad.

Children are wonderful!

I like football very much. That's what I like. I play it quite well.

I'd rather be playing bridge than making a bad movie.

I had too many big passions in life and it gets in the way of work. You can't concentrate properly on the one thing.

I don't know what sex appeal is. I don't think you can have sex appeal knowingly. The people who seduce me personally are the people who seem not to know they're seductive, and not to know they have sex appeal.

Peter O'Toole - I really loved that man. They sent me into the desert, and I lived there with him for 100 days. And there were no women! Can you believe it?

I don't think any actor feels comfortable watching themselves in movies. You must be very narcissistic. The problem with your own opinion of yourself is that contrary to the normal spectators, when you watch a film you are in, you only watch yourself.

I want to live every moment totally and intensely. Even when I'm giving an interview or talking to people, that's all that I'm thinking about.

I see only defects because I'm not following the scene as it were. I'm not following the other person. It's like the best thing to clarify this is the theater.

I made French films and other films and a lot of Arabic films, but what I like is English for myself.

See these hands? They are old. But they are soft. Only good for caressing.
