“There are lots of wonderful old Italian actors. You don't need to take an Egyptian to play an Italian actor.”

“I never fell in love with another woman. I cannot have a relationship with a woman if I'm not in love...I'm a very particular person, I'm not very much interested in short adventures with women or girls. I have to fall in love with someone in order to have a realtionship with her.”

“My mother used to play cards with King Farouk. He believed she brought good luck to him - she was his mascot.”
