I have the terrible feeling that, because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theatre, you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats, not Mount Sinai.

Every true artist must, in his own way, be a magician, a charlatan.

When you are down and out something always turns up - and it is usually the noses of your friends.

The only reason for doing a play is to make a statement about it, and by that I don't mean a conceit of the producer.

I don't like television when it gets near to photographed plays.
