I was taken in by what might be called the Hard Times version of the Communists' advertising or recruiting technique.

I truly believe that all power corrupts. Such is probably the thinking behind every political film ever made in Hollywood.

I would rather do what I did than crawl in front of a ritualistic Left and lie the way those other comrades did betray my own soul.

Never underestimate the narcissism of a writer.

The world was like a huge red carpet out ahead of me to be walked on. And it stretched on and on, no end.

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

Wonder is our need today, not information.
