Personal Quote:

What I hate about our business today is the elitism. So-called stars ride in private jets and have bodyguards and dietitians and beauticians. Tom Cruise is a midget and he has eight bodyguards all 6 feet 10, which makes him even more diminutive. It's an absolute joke. See more »

Trivia:

In his youth he was a fan of Marlon Brando, and could imitate or parody his performance in On the Waterfront at the drop of a hat. However he did not get along with Brando while filming Mutiny on the Bounty and blamed the American star's on-set behavior for the film going over budget and over schedule. During the 1960s he often criticized Brando's eccentric movie choices in interviews. See more »
