I approached everything, my job, my family, my romances, with intensity.

In poetry, everything can be faked but the intensity of utterance.

Fonda and Gary Cooper had the best sense of timing of all the actors I knew.

Cars, furs, and gems were not my weaknesses.

I knew I could not cope with the future unless I was able to rediscover the past.

Rehearsals and screening rooms are often unreliable because they can't provide the chemistry between an audience and what appears on the stage or screen.
