“The more complicated the character, the better I am. It's the one-dimensional crap that I had to do for years that drove me crazy.”
“The year I got into The Actors Studio, Steve McQueen and I were the only two accepted that whole year.”
“As a Jew, there's a need to keep that atrocity alive. There were Catholics and gypsies and homosexuals who died in the Holocaust, too. It's amazing that people allowed this slaughter to take place. There's a need to make these films and reiterate it happened.”
“You can't perish because of your own feelings; you have to embrace those things as an actor because it's part of your palette.”
“You have to be crazy to do theater.”
“I like a character that is still alive and is necessarily thinking, and either grows or diminishes or whatever.”
“People do not necessarily reveal what is going on - only bad actors do.”
“To really have craft, you must be able to repeat something as one has to do in films.”
