If you're going to play a cowboy, show up with the horse at the audition

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

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

Miller didn't write Death of a Salesman. He released it. It was there inside him, waiting to be turned loose. That's the measure of its merit.

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

I was always a self-conscious person.

I hate the Communists and have for many years and don't feel right about giving up my career to defend them. I will give up my film career if it is in the interests of defending something I believe in, but not this.
