I put on an act sometimes, and people think I’m insensitive. Really, it’s like a kind of armor because I’m too sensitive. If there are two hundred people in a room and one of them doesn’t like me, I’ve got to get out.

An actor's a guy who, if you ain't talking about him, ain't listening.

It really don't matter what you're thinking about, as long as you're thinking about something.

If there are two hundred people in a room and one of them doesn't like me, I've got to get out.

To grasp the full significance of life is the actor's duty, to interpret it is his problem, and to express it his dedication.

Ask most kids about details about Auschwitz or about how the American Indians were assassinated as a people and they don't know anything about it. They don't want to know anything. Most people just want their beer or their soap opera or their lullaby.
