Never underestimate the narcissism of a writer.

I gave my life to the Group Theatre, because in it I'm building something for myself. What I build, I am.

Very often the Group actor is a critic when he's acting and an actor when he's criticizing.

Hey, you must be doin' good, 'cause I never hear from you.

Acting, I found, was the biggest charge I ever had. What other artist has it so good? Approval so quick?

I like directors who come on the set and create something that's a little dangerous, difficult or unusual.

I knew the exuberance of playing before an admiring audience and hearing my secret voice.
