Omar Sharif Quote
“Zhivago was an awful part to play. I couldn't go to the daily rushes and see myself do that one big, good scene that would have gotten me into gear. I started eating my heart out, and I had a sort of breakdown after one month. I said 'David, you made a mistake in picking me', but he replied 'Trust me' and I kept on going.”
on working with director David Lean on the 1965 film 'Doctor Zhivago'
