A good director's not sure when he gets on the set what he's going to do.

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

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

You've got to keep fighting; you've got to risk your life every six months to stay alive.

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

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.

Anybody who informs on other people is doing something disturbing and even disgusting.
