Hard to work with?

Someone I know - an avid movie buff - told me that Sally Field once said that she "would never work with him again". Seeing as how this was the only movie they ever did together (it is,isn't it?), it must've been this one.
He has a reputation as a hard guy to get along with - harsh, argumentative etc. And Sally Field seems pretty easygoing, though perhaps I'm being naive. I wonder what went on between them?
I read that during "Men In Black" he pulled the old trick of cooperating for the first week or so (past the point where he could be replaced; they'd already shot too much of the script), and then he started bitching about the script, refusing to do his lines as written, "They just arn't funny enough" he said.
"I like his work, he's always worth watching, but I wouldn't want to know him" someone once said.
