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

I question the value of stars. I think they're overrated. They get too much money, too much praise.

I was very intense. I think it's a privilege to be an actor.

I'm going to make a film where not one word is really important. I'm going to make it all action.

To be a member of the Communist Party is to have a taste of the police state. It is a diluted taste but it is bitter and unforgettable.

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

The real challenge is not simply to survive. Hell, anyone can do that. It’s to survive as yourself, undiminished.
