No movement can afford to be caught in a time warp and exist in a state of suspended animation.

I do prefer the stage. It's really the granddaddy of them all.

What moves me is neither ethnocentric pride nor sectarian arrogance. I make no claim that Jewish culture is superior to other cultures. But it is mine.

I'm exceedingly proud of being an actor, but I never recommend it to anyone.

If I have one vanity wish, it would be to direct. It's the only thing I haven't done yet that I would like to.

I glory in the fact that a human being has multiple talents and exercises them all with a degree of integrity and artistic proficiency. That's what I do.

I prefer to choose which traditions to keep and which to let go.
