“I think the prime reason for existence, for living in this world is discovery.”

To grasp the full significance of life is the actor’s duty; to interpret it his problem; and to express it his dedication.

Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.

My fun days are over.

Studying cows, pigs and chickens can help an actor develop his character. There are a lot of things I learned from animals. One was that they couldn’t hiss or boo me.

The greatest school of the theater. It houses great people like Marlon Brando, Julie Harris, Arthur Kennedy, Mildred DunnockVery few get into it, and it is absolutely free.

I fawn over these people. I have given them my heart and my soul. The trouble is, I’m unable to love anyone tangible

Trust and belief are two prime considerations. You must not allow yourself to be opinionated.

To my way of thinking, an actor’s course is set even before he’s out of the cradle.

One of these days I might be able to contribute something to the world.

It is the best thing that can happen to an actor. I am one of the youngest to belong. If I can keep this up and nothing interferes with my progress

I also became close to nature, and am now able to appreciate the beauty with which this world is endowed.

How can you measure acting in inches?

I think the one thing this picture shows that’s new is the psychological disproportion of the kids’ demands on the parents.

At times there seems to be a million ideas worth painting. However, there are days when it’s a challenge to pull any idea together.

I want to be a Texan 24 hours a day.

Live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse.

There is a great difference between discoveries and inventions. With discoveries, one can always be skeptical, and many surprises can take place. In the case of inventions, surprises can really only occur for people who have not had anything to do with it.

In completing one discovery we never fail to get an imperfect knowledge of others.

Some of the greatest things, as I understand, they have come about by serendipity, the greatest discoveries

With so many scientific achievements we know so little of where we came from and where we are going. But we know even less of the most important discovery of all.

There are many, many books I’ve read and I think this is quite naïve actually because we all just try to uncover something.

But the universe at large is full of questions that we still don’t know anything about and there will be always young people brilliant who are going to make new discoveries.

What matters are not the truths other people tell us or the practices that we are able to mimic, but the spiritual discoveries we make through personal investigation.

Serendipity is the way to make discoveries, by accident but also by sagacity , of things one is not in quest of.
