Zitat des Tages von Omar Sharif:
Working gets in the way of living.
I don't know what sex appeal is. I don't think you can have sex appeal knowingly. The people who seduce me personally are the people who seem not to know they're seductive, and not to know they have sex appeal.
There are lots of wonderful old Italian actors. You don't need to take an Egyptian to play an Italian actor.
I didn't want to be a slave to any passion anymore. I gave up card playing altogether, even bridge and gambling - more or less. It took me a few years to get out of it.
I love to be with my son and my grandchildren, like normal people. I have no particular idea of what I represent to other people. It's very mysterious to me. I don't understand it.
I don't think any actor feels comfortable watching themselves in movies. You must be very narcissistic. The problem with your own opinion of yourself is that contrary to the normal spectators, when you watch a film you are in, you only watch yourself.
I had too many big passions in life and it gets in the way of work. You can't concentrate properly on the one thing.
I want to live every moment totally and intensely. Even when I'm giving an interview or talking to people, that's all that I'm thinking about.
I don't know what women are attracted to. I can't tell, but certainly I have no notion of having sex appeal or being seductive in any way.
Women know when they've got the menopause but men don't quite know. They know it afterwards.
I see only defects because I'm not following the scene as it were. I'm not following the other person. It's like the best thing to clarify this is the theater.
I can't say I gave up totally my passion for women but almost.
My philosophy is that when I go out of my room, I'm prepared to love everybody I meet, unless they're bad.
