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

I was not what you'd call a first-class actor, but I did all right.

The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don't dare reveal.

The motion pictures I have made and the plays I have chosen to direct represent my convictions.

I was both very successful and very left; the living demonstration of how you could be on the left and still be in the gossip columns and be envied for the money you made.

I was always a self-conscious person.

The more ambivalent you are and the more uncertain you are, then you can get something that you cannot anticipate.
