Acting, I Found, Was The Biggest Charge

There Aren't Many Male Stars - That's A Loose Term - Like Kirk [douglas] Around. Most Of Those Virile Personalities Have To Keep Working, Continue The Image Because They Can't Do Anything Else. They Don't Even Read. Their Real Identity Is In Making Those Pictures. They Have To Keep Jumping On Horses And Hitting Somebody On The Head With A Gun.

I Won't Go Back To The Theater. I Like Some Of The Things They're Doing But It's Different Now, Not Something I Could Do. I'll Go On Making Films The Rest Of My Life.

I Truly Believe That All Power Corrupts. Such Is Probably The Thinking Behind Every Political Film Ever Made In Hollywood.

I've Come To Believe That Everything Worth Achieving Is Beyond One's Capacity - Or Seems So At First. The Thing Is To Persist, Not Back Off, Fight Your Fight, Pay Your Dues, And Carry On. Effort Is All; Continue And You May Get There Despite Everything.
