My purpose in life does not include a hankering to charm society.

If I can keep this up and nothing interferes with my progress, one of these days I might be able to contribute something to the world.

To grasp the full significance of life is the actor's duty; to interpret it his problem; and to express it his dedication. Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that's all you have. Being a good actor isn't easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I'm done.

If I had one day when I didn't have to be all confused and didn't have to feel that I was ashamed of everything. If I felt that I belonged someplace. You know?

I can't let in the light.It will destroy my performance like light destroys film

My purpose in life does not include a hankering to charm society.

What better way to die? It's fast and clean and you go out in a blaze of glory!
