Now Tarantino is making DJANGO UNCHAINED. Everybody is telling me I am in the movie but I've not been asked by Tarantino officially. Not yet. There were many, many other Django films following mine, with other actors and directors, but there is only one Django.
I could be a star and maybe make lots of money, or I could change roles all the time and have a more interesting - and longer - career.
Every western I did and will do; I will do it for the never ending young kid inside of me.
If you're a big Hollywood star, you make one movie a year at the most. I can make five in Europe.
When I entered the monastery I wanted to be alone. Now I believe that men should worry about the world they leave for their children.
