Personal Quote:

[on Billy Wilder] I've had directors who were marvelous at breaking scenes down and handling people. But when you would string all the pearls together, they wouldn't make a beautiful necklace. But Billy is the kind of picture-maker who can make a beautiful string of pearls. He makes the kind of movies that are classics and last forever. See more »

Trivia:

He was Blake Edwards' original choice for the lead role in 10 (1979), but he never responded to it. See more »
