I love going to the movies; I love watching good movie actors. They must know something I don't.

If you want a bourgeois existence, you shouldn't be an actor. You're in the wrong profession.

Working with Brando was fun. It was like a tennis match. We played unbelievably well together.

Marlon was so sensitive, you thought the poor guy just had a bad education.

Once in awhile, there's stuff that makes me say, That's what theatre's about. It has to be a human event on the stage, and that doesn't happen very often.
