Pastoral Resources

I signed on with Disney to star and choreograph an original film.

With Dick Smith there, and the words of Peter Shaffer... they've got to be the most beautiful descriptions in music ever written on film or in literature. And we could hear the music accompanying the words... What more can you ask for?

The difficulty is capturing surprise on film.

On my fifth film, it was then that I stopped dancing.

The film kept me from working as a secretary. It was a real stroke of luck. A miracle.

When I said I was going to audition for a film, I got a hearty laugh from all my family.

No place is boring, if you've had a good night's sleep and have a pocket full of unexposed film.

So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?

Fortunately, both television adaptations and the film I've been involved with are pieces of work that I'm proud of, so I'm very happy for people to focus on them.

Clearly any film company that makes a film is always going to talk about sequels particularly if they see something as being successful, which Werewolf was.

I've done both theatre and film and the fact is if you start believing, if you start reading things and they're good reviews - you believe that and you're lost, and then you read bad reviews and you think that's true and you read that and you're lost.

The things that I've done that have totally been remembered, they've always started with the same kind of engine, they've always started with someone saying 'I have to make this film - I'm going to make this film whatever the odds'.

But John Landis wrote a good relationship which is really what the film's about. A very straightforward young woman who's very sure of herself and she meets a young man who needs some taking care of.

I made the film to bring the story of Islam, the story of 700 million of people, to the West.

In 1969, at the age of 19, I was lucky enough to work with George C. Scott in the definitive portrayal of his career over a period of many months and several countries on the definitive film version of Patton's WWII career.

I don't think violence on film breeds violence in life. Violence in life breeds violence in films.

I prefer film and that's what I think I'm gonna put my focus on.

I'm going to be a great film star. That is, if booze and sex don't get me first.

Almost any film that you do is an opportunity to open you up and make you more aware of an area that you might not be thinking about. That's what is kind of cool, or one of the cool things about this profession.

Because of the wealth of fine music spread through the film, working on it held all the fun and excitement of attending a great concert.
