You keep drinking until you finally take one more and it just won't go down. Then you know you've reached your limit.

Ah, stardom! They put your name on a star in the sidewalk on Hollywood Boulevard and you walk down and find a pile of dog manure on it.

That tells the whole story, baby. If I have any appeal at all, it's to the fellow who takes out the garbage. That's it. It's important not to think too much about what you do. You see, with my way of thinking there are always Thursdays -- no matter how the picture works out.

Very saddened by his passing. Richard Jaeckel was a good friend of his. He went to see him on his last stretch in the hospital. He was in a coma much of the time. And Jaeckel asks if there is anything he can get him. And Aldrich says, "Yeah, a good script. He had my number and I had his, and that can be bad between an actor and a director. Well, I've never seen a situation so much reversed. It was Newman's company who produced the film and when they came to show it, Newman had become the sole star and I was nowhere.

He's so still. He's moving and yet he's not moving. There was that very credible virility of guys like Spencer Tracy or Humphrey Bogart.

I don't think that I could one day resemble them, but in life and in movies I profoundly admired Bogart, both personally and professionally. But he does make demands on you and if you don't come through then he'll run right over the top of you.

I'm only in dummies. The Dirty Dozen was a dummy moneymaker, and baby, if you want a moneymaker, get a dummy. I get a million. So, if that's the game. I never talked to Newman in my life. No, I talked to him on Park Avenue once. Only to give him a piece of advice.

This year-old girl wanted his autograph. He told her he didn't give autographs, but he'd buy her a beer. I think it shows. With Newman, it shows. All I can say is that, in Europe, American pictures are the most popular, which amazes me. They do love the violent pictures. And, of course, they have seen violence. So maybe an acting-out on the screen alleviates the pressure on them.

I know when I was a kid and would see John Wayne punch some guy and knock him through the wall, I'd say, 'Boy, I'm glad I wasn't that guy. So maybe there is good value to it. Now in acting, when craziness is shown in a sick manner or, in other words, 'to no value', I look down on it. Because real violence is a thing that must not be tolerated, and in order not to tolerate it you must be educated in knowing what it is.

Violent films come out with value When I play these roles of vicious men I do things you shouldn't do and I make you see that you shouldn't do them. I played a lot of what I hate, now I like to play parts which I love. I can play bigots, etc, parts no one else will.

I am not fascinated by death any more: there is lots of anti-violence in my heart, and after committing murder it was hard to find peace. Acting is a search for communication - that is what I am trying to do, get my message across.
