Acting Is Trying To Be Absolutely Truthful;

We Are Not What We Seem. We Are More Than What We Seem. The Actor Knows That. And Because The Actor Knows That Hidden Inside Himself There's A Wizard And A King, He Also Knows That When He's Playing Himself In His Daily Life, He's Playing A Part, He's Performing, Just As He's Performing When He Plays A Part On Stage.

I Think I'm Trying To Write Truthfully About Life, And Naturalism, Or The Way People Normally Talk In Movies, Is A Convention. It's Not The Way People Talk In Life At All.

I Have Been Vain Since Birth.

I Choose Parts Because I Don't Want To Be Embarrassed When The Movie Comes Out. What If My Friends Were To See The Movie? What If My Niece Or Nephew Wandered Into The Theater And Saw The Movie? I Don't Want To Be Too Ashamed Of It.

I'm A Very Lucky Man. It's A Beautiful Thing For A Writer, To See People Allowing Your Words To Enter Their Own Unconscious And Their Souls.
