You can spend a lifetime, and, if you're honest with yourself, never once was your work perfect.

To be an actor you need four things: energy, concentration, a lot of luck and, of course, good roles.

You could think of extraordinary examples to the contrary: The Grapes of Wrath... and even into the 70s.

The minute you feel you have given a faultless performance is the time to get out.

You simply disobey. Peaceably, yes. Respectfully, of course. Nonviolently, absolutely. But when told how to think or what to say or how to behave, we don't. We disobey the social protocol that stifles and stigmatizes personal freedom.

Let’s be honest. Who here thinks your professors can say what they really believe? It scares me to death, and should scare you too, that the superstition of political correctness rules the halls of reason. What does all of this mean? It means that telling us what to think has evolved into telling us what to say, so telling us what to do can’t be far behind. Before you claim to be a champion of free thought, tell me: Why did political correctness originate on America’s campuses? And why do you continue to tolerate it? Why do you, who’re supposed to debate ideas, surrender to their suppression?

You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.
