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

I don't think any word can explain a man's life.

A bad word from a colleague can darken a whole day. We need encouragement a lot more than we admit, even to ourselves.

I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.

The two things you cannot do effectively on stage are pray and copulate.

The first thing one must remember about film is that it is a young medium. And it is essential for every responsible artist to cultivate the ground that has been left fallow.

I have an unfortunate personality.
