Must I tell the story of my life again?

With my brains and your looks, we could go places.

England has been praised for turning out intelligent, adult pictures whereas Hollywood has been severely censured for turning out junk. I don't think criticism is a valid one because, in defense of Hollywood, we have censorship problems England doesn't have. I'm not speaking of the license to do sexy stuff. I'm speaking of the license to present adult ideas and viewpoints, which we lack and which means in turn that many of our pictures lack intelligent content.

Reading is important.

I did a lot of jobs when I was a kid - paper boy, grocery boy, all those things. I guess maybe I got a point of view then.

I didn't learn anything about acting until I joined the Group Theatre. They taught me an entirely new approach, an entirely new technique.

I know a playwright with a forty-thousand-dollar house in Beverly and he's miserable.

I lived in a bad neighborhood. I knew so many things a boy shouldn't know. I did so many things a boy shouldn't do.

There was a revolution going on at home. Why didn't I earn some money? Why didn't I do something practical, like chicken farming?

There was no convincing me that a stepmother could be anything but a wicked ogre, and I acted accordingly.
