Some things are not forgiveable. Deliberate cruelty is not forgiveable. It is the most unforgiveable thing in my opinion, and the one thing in which I have never, ever been guilty Picture Quote #1

I met my wife and, for the next ten years, we did no films at all. She did the first movie and then I did several after. My first movie was written by Tennessee Williams and directed by Kazan and was called Baby Doll Picture Quote #1

I do a lot of American plays. I’ve done a lot of Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams and Neil Simon. I was in ‘Sisters Rosensweig,’ ‘Six Degrees of Separation,’ all of that stuff. So we’re very familiar with America. I did 400 performances of ‘Born Yesterday.’ I did 700 performances of ‘They’re Playing Our Song.’ Picture Quote #1

And then the searchlight which had been turned on the world was turned off again and never for one moment since has there been any light that’s stronger than this-kitchen-candle Picture Quote #1

You’ll be surprised how infinitely merciful they [these tablets] are. The prescription number is 96814. I think of it as the telephone number of God! Picture Quote #1

A lot of people don’t know that my background is completely classical. For a while there, I was all about Moliere and the Greeks and Brecht and Tennessee Williams Picture Quote #1

Perhaps the most vivid recollection of my youth is that of the local wheelmen, led by my father, stopping at our home to eat pone, sip mint juleps, and flog the field hands. This more than anything cultivated my life-long aversion to bicycles Picture Quote #1

I love Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, Flannery O’Connor. I read a lot of American writers Picture Quote #1

I have a bit of an obsession with the 1950’s and all those actors from Montgomery Clift to James Dean and Anthony Perkins. Just that whole era of Tennessee Williams to Elia Kazan Picture Quote #1

If I had my choice in life I would have had the gifts of Tennessee Williams or Eugene O’Neill. Unfortunately my gifts lie in comedy and so comedy comes fairly easy to me and I occasionally have an idea for a very serious piece and I do it, but the ideas don’t come that readily to me Picture Quote #1
