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.

If you're an artist, you've got to prove it.

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

Acting, is not a profession for adults.

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.
