I worry a lot about taking care of my dependents, all those perfectly ordinary middle-class preoccupations.

I'm one of those fellows so frightened of driving that I go 80 miles an hour - and the more frightened I get, the faster I go.

I'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.

I don't take art as seriously as politics.

What's happening now is what happened before, and often what's going to happen again sometime or other

A maverick may go his own way but he doesn't think that it's the only way or ever claim that it's the best one, except maybe for himself. And don't imagine that this raggle-taggle gypsy is claiming to be free. It's just that some of the necessities to which I am a slave are different from yours.

There were centuries when civilization had no theater.
