I was both very successful and very left; the living demonstration of how you could be on the left and still be in the gossip columns and be envied for the money you made.

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

I knew the exuberance of playing before an admiring audience and hearing my secret voice.

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

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

I was able to capture on film things the actors didn't even know they were doing.
