Necking with Marilyn Monroe is like kissing Hitler
For instance, I always have one hanging in Budapest in the mayors office.
So all of these pictures, when I see them now, I see another level that I didn't notice when I made them. That makes them very appealing to me.
Coach Parcells keeps telling me to look at the big picture and not what's going on now. He's trying to build me to be the player he wants me to be.
The treatments on my ankle have been harder than the practices.
I look at everything in an artistic way.
Jack Lemmon is my best friend and he's a very wonderful actor. A very talented, very funny man. A lovely man. We're like brothers! We are gifts to each other. He's such a fun personality. There will only ever be one Jack Lemmon.

I used to be good friends with my depression, saying oh I'm so depressed, or life is terrible.
On kissing Marilyn Monroe: It's like kissing Hitler.
When I was in bed with Marilyn Monroe, I was never sure before, during or after, where her mind was.

Everywhere I go in the world, people know me and recognise me and really show affection for me.
The movie business is very twisted, out of site, out of mind, you know.
