I may be getting old, but not foolish.

Take it from a director: if you get an actor that Sandy Meisner has trained, you've been blessed.

I have no spy stories to tell, because I saw no spies. Nor did I understand, at that time, any opposition between American and Russian national interest.

I was an outsider... but I was also sympathetic with people that were struggling to get up, because I struggled to get up.

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

I was always a self-conscious person.

When you know what an actor has, you can reach in and arouse it. If you don't know what he has, you don't know what the hell is going on.
