I tried to stir the imagination and enthusiasms of students to take risks, to do what they were most afraid of doing, to widen their horizons of action.

When I did play, I tried to make the most of it.

When I tried to branch out into comedy, I didn't do very well at it, so I went back to doing what I do naturally well, or what the audience expects from me - action pictures.

I am not afraid of taking risks. We have to take risks for peace.

I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it.

I tried to oppose the academic to the marketplace.
