How can you measure acting in inches?

But you can't show some far off idyllic conception of behavior if you want the kids to come and see the picture. You've got to show what it's really like, and try to reach them on their own grounds.

To me, acting is the most logical way for people's neuroses to manifest themselves, in this great need we all have to express ourselves.

The only greatness for man is immortality.

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.

Take it easy driving– the life you save may be mine.
