Dogs are very different from cats in that they can be images of human virtue. They are like us.

The most potent and sacred command which can be laid upon any artist is the command: wait.

We are all the judges and the judged, victims of the casual malice and fantasy of others, and ready sources of fantasy and malice in our turn. And if we are sometimes accused of sins of which we are innocent, are there not also other sins of which we are guilty and of which the world knows nothing?

All art is the struggle to be, in a particular sort of way, virtuous.

Actors are cave dwellers in a rich darkness which they love and hate.

Only lies and evil come from letting people off.

Real worship involves waiting.
