“Jak człowiek chce porozmawiać z młodymi ludźmi na temat Oświęcimia czy masakry Indian, to okazuje się, że oni nic nie wiedzą. Co gorsza, nic nie chcą wiedzieć na te tematy. Dla większości ludzi najważniejsze jest piwo, serial telewizyjny i bajka na dobranoc.”
“Ludzie mają dość relatywizmu, więc znajdują ulgę, gdy widzą, że coś jest zdecydowanie dobre albo zdecydowanie złe. Dlatego też dramatopisarze, którzy przedstawiają ludzki konflikt bez zajmowania zdecydowanego punktu widzenia, nie sprzedają swoich sztuk. Takiej produkcji ludzie nie chcą oglądać, bo jest za bardzo wymagająca.”
“Ludzie, którzy zawsze muszą wygrywać pełni są lęku, żyją w wiecznym strachu.”
“Nienawiść grupowa jest dużo bardziej niebezpieczna i grożąca potencjalnym wybuchem niż nienawiść jednostkowa. Grupowo można popełnić najgorsze zbrodnie, ale oczywiście zawsze w imię prawa i sprawiedliwości. Tak jak w filmach z Johnem Wayne. To jego filozofia. John Wayne nie sądzi, że zbrodnie popełnione na Indianach są zbrodniami.”
“Rozmawiając ludzie kontrolują uczucia, a cisza wyzwala agresję. Rozmowa służy do zapełnienia pustki, a pustka przeraża większość ludzi.”
“Rzemiosłem zastąpiliśmy sztukę, a zręcznością rzemiosło. To wstrętne! Ohydne. Ludzie mówią o sztuce, a nie mają w ogóle prawa używać tego słowa. W żadnym języku. Nie ma już artystów. Jesteśmy wszyscy biznesmenami. Handlarzami. Nie ma już sztuki.”
“To ważne, z jakiego powodu czyta się książki. Jak się nie ma jakiegoś specjalnego powodu, to jest to forma ucieczki, zbieranie śmieci pozbawionych znaczenia.”
“Wszyscy mamy naszych ulubionych wrogów, których uwielbiamy nienawidzić i nienawidzimy uwielbiać. Jeśli zdarzy im się zrobić coś dobrego, to nam i tak się to nie spodoba.”
“Zadziwiające jest to, co ludzie mają ochotę robić publicznie. Nie rozumiem, skąd im się bierze ta ochota. Może w ten sposób czują się mniej samotni. Natomiast ja zawsze uważałem to za obrzydliwe.”
“Recitare è l'espressione di un impulso neurale. È una vita noiosa... Il beneficio principale che ho tratto dall'essere un attore sono i soldi che uso per pagare il mio psicanalista.”
“[A proposito di Montgomery Clift] Oltre a un grande charme possedeva una grande sensibilità e, come me, era inquieto [...] anche se non era chiaro che cosa lo preoccupasse.”
