- Film is a unique art form in the sense that no one person can express himself or herself alone. You rely on a lot of unsung heroes. It's not like an artist painting a picture where it's just him and the easel. There are 100 people I rely on.
- When I was nominated for an Oscar for The French Connection (1971), I couldn't believe it. I thought I was fooling everyone. You know, I still feel that way. In fact, when I was nominated for the fifth time for Wyatt Earp (1994), the first thing my wife said was, "Well, you fooled them again".
- [on lighting problems]: Glasses - I hate 'em! They're a nightmare. Every time they ask me if somebody should wear glasses, I say, "No! Get 'em off!"
