Criticism- a big bite out of someone's back.

There is only one thing I respect in so-called Broadway actors... and that is their competitive sense.

I wouldn't go up on a stage now if you paid a thousand dollars for one minute of acting. It's a nasty experience. You're up there all by yourself. You're so damn exposed.

You have to remind people of their own struggles. It's a responsibility.

The camera is more than a recorder, it's a microscope. It penetrates, it goes into people and you see their most private and concealed thoughts.

I value peace, too, when it is not bought at the price of fundamental decencies.

I was not a collective person or a bohemian; I was an elitist.
