Comedy is much more difficult than tragedy-and a much better training, I think. It's much easier to make people cry than to make them laugh.

Streetcar is the most wonderful, wonderful play.

I need something truly beautiful to look at in hotel rooms.

Shaw is like a train. One just speaks the words and sits in one's place. But Shakespeare is like bathing in the sea - one swims where one wants.

Classical plays require more imagination and more general training to be able to do. That's why I like playing Shakespeare better than anything else.
