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

I used to spend most of my time straining to be a nice guy so people would like me.

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

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

I was able to capture on film things the actors didn't even know they were doing.

I will say nothing to an actor that cannot be translated into action.

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