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

The physical life of the scene is determined by whether the set squeezes people together or whether the set has an escape place in it.

I said to Tennessee, this thing is becoming the Marlon Brando show.

I've come to believe that everything worth achieving is beyond one's capacity - or seems so at first. The thing is to persist, not back off, fight your fight, pay your dues, and carry on. Effort is all; continue and you may get there despite everything.

Every fighter has one fight that makes or breaks him.

There was no doubt that there was a vast organization which was making fools of all the liberals in Hollywood and taking their money, that there was a police state among the Left element in Hollywood and Broadway.

What's called a difficult decision is a difficult decision because either way you go there are penalties.
