I am far from sure when I am acting and when I am not or, should I more frankly put it, when I am lying and when I am not. For what is acting but lying and what is good acting but convincing lying?

You think you're an artist; prove it

We ape, we mimic, we mock. We act.

We have all, at one time or another, been performers, and many of us still are - politicians, playboys, cardinals and kings.

I believe in the theater; I believe in it as the first glamorizer of thought. It restores dramatic dynamics and their relations to life size.

Of all the things I've done in life, directing a motion picture is the most beautiful. It's the most exciting and the nearest than an interpretive craftsman, such as an actor can possibly get to being a creator.

Acting is an everlasting search for truth.
