I'm not sure how other people of my generation look back on that time (when she acted in La scuola della violenza (1967)), but since I trained at a professional stage school, if you took yourself too seriously, or started to think you were better than anybody else, you just got the shit beaten out of you.

Oh, I loved John Wayne. He was just so charming and easy to work with. Although we shot the film (Ispettore Brannigan, la morte segue la tua ombra (1975)) in London, it was like making an American movie just because you were working with John Wayne. It was very funny to see the look on people's faces when we were filming. We'd pull up in a car on a London street, and you'd see these people looking at him, and they must have been thinking, 'That man looks just like John Wayne. But, oh, it can't be.' I think he got a kick out of that.

When you act a scene with Sidney Poitier he listens intently to every word you say. You can feel your words hit him. He makes the scene utterly real.

I never planned out my career and just took the best job available. In fact, I'm not really a horror fan at all. Even when I go to horror film conventions, the majority of people still come to visit me because of "To Sir, with Love." [Interview with Nick Thomas, 2017]

Joan Crawford said she was lonely, and I could see and feel that she was. She wasn't easy, but I think Il cerchio di sangue (1967) was hard on her precisely because it *was* a B-movie. And there was something very likable about her - after all, when people show their vulnerabilities, it's hard not to forgive them for other things" [on working with Joan Crawford on 'Berserk']
