I was the hero of the young insurgent working class art movement.

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

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

Stylized acting and direction is to realistic acting and direction as poetry is to prose.

I owe Bankhead a gift; she made a director out of me.

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

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.
