Why did I write? Because I found life unsatisfactory.

[on Marlon Brando] He loves the light! See how the light shines through him? . . . I shouldn’t be partial, but he is my favorite one.

A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages.

Eli Wallach has discovered the secret of pissing people off. He’s happy.

Why pick on [Elia] Kazan just because he made a mistake sixteen years ago and joined the Communist Party when he didn’t know what it was all about? If you keep it up, there won’t be anybody out here but those who know how to make B-pictures.

[on alcoholic episodes in his later years] I was always falling down, and I would always say, ‘I’m about to fall down’, and almost nobody ever caught me.
