I don't stretch my hand out anymore, but I never get tired of waiting for the next magic.
An actor is at most a poet and at least an entertainer.
Acting is the expression of a neurotic impulse. It's a bum's life. Quitting acting, that's the sign of maturity.
Working with any actor is like working with a monkey.
People around me never say anything. They just seem to want to hear what I have to say. That's why I do all the talking.
It's the hardest thing in the world to accept a 'little' success and leave it that way.
When I lie on the beach there naked, which I do sometimes, and I feel the wind coming over me and I see the stars up above and I am looking into this very deep, indescribable night, it is something that escapes my vocabulary to describe. Then I think: 'God, I have no importance. Whatever I do or don't do, or what anybody does, is not more important than the grains of sand that I am lying on, or the coconut that I am using for my pillow.' So I really don't think in the long sense.
Food has always been my friend. When I wanted to feel better or had a crisis in my life, I opened the icebox.
Acting is the least mysterious of all crafts. Whenever we want something from somebody or when we want to hide something or pretend, we're acting. Most people do it all day long.
The military mind has one aim, and that is to make soldiers react as mechanically as possible. They want the same predictability in a man as they do in a telephone or a machine gun, and they train their soldiers to act as a unit, not as individuals.
Mafia is the best example of capitalism we have.
Most writers write haphazardly. The actor is fighting unjustified words all the time.
The Jews control Hollywood and use it to promote their own agenda.
Acting serves as the quintessential social lubricant and a device for protecting our interests and gaining advantage in every aspect of life.
