I was not a collective person or a bohemian; I was an elitist.

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

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.

What's called a difficult decision is a difficult decision because either way you go there are penalties.

Acting, I found, was the biggest charge I ever had. What other artist has it so good? Approval so quick?

I was the true future. I understood Communism better than they did.

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.
