I don't know what is better than the work that is given to the actor-to teach the human heart the knowledge of itself.

I'd like people to remember me for a diligent expert workman. I think a poet is a workman. I think Shakespeare was a workman. And God's a workman. I don't think there's anything better than a workman.

I'm rather bored by the subject - meaning me. It's a sort of a yoke, but at times you know, a yoke is a kind of comfort. And it's always there.

I believe that in a great city, or even in a small city or a village, a great theater is the outward and visible sign of an inward and probable culture.

No matter how well you perform, there's always somebody of intelligent opinion who thinks it's lousy.

If he was lost for a moment, he would dive straight back into its honey.

I have to act to live.
