I Never Gave Away Anything

Every Actor Has A Natural Animosity Toward Every Other Actor, Present Or Absent, Living Or Dead

I Do Not Excuse Myself With The Usual Escape Of 'not Trying.' I Tried With All My Heart.

For Two Extraordinary Years I Have Been Working On It - Learning To Write - But Mostly Learning How To Tell The Truth. At First It Is Quite Impossible. You Make Yourself Better Than Anybody, Then Worse Than Anybody, And When You Finally Come To See You Are "like" Everybody - That Is The Bitterest Blow Of All To The Ego. But In The End It Is Only The Truth, No Matter How Ugly Or Shameful, That Is Right, That Fits Together, That Makes Real People, And Strangely Enough - Beauty.

The Great Art Of Films Does Not Consist Of Descriptive Movement Of Face And Body But In The Movements Of Thought And Soul Transmitted In A Kind Of Intense Isolation.

Anyone Who Has Achieved Excellence In Any Form Knows That It Comes As A Result Of Ceaseless Concentration.
