"What you're doing is putting into professional play the way that you relate to other people, the way that you analyze and relate to a written text, the way that you would persuade anybody to do anything. It has to do with listening, with humility and a sense of yourself."
People
"I would be terribly disappointed if anything would get in the way of my being cast in something, or if performances were canceled. It was a fix that I obviously needed."
Being
"In a way, I have to have a dictatorship. I can't be told that I'm wrong. That conflicts with what I was saying earlier about listening. It isn't to do with receiving criticism and responding to other views, it's who has that last decision."
Decision-Making
"The film director, in many instances, has to swallow somebody else's decision about the final form of something. It's so hard as to be intolerable."
Decision-Making
"I had a feeling about Shakespeare's soliloquies, that there should be a real exchange between the actor and the audience."
Actor
"So, through all that early professional career I would occasionally do a musical, a pantomime or a play with songs. The next stop would be a Shakespeare, or an Ibsen, or a play by a brand new writer who had never done anything in the theater before."
Career
"A lot of performing instincts are involved in the business of direction, but so is analysis and having a sense of literature."
Business
"If you're a director, your entire livelihood and your entire creativity is based on your self-confidence. Sometimes that's dangerously close to arrogance."
Creativity
"I've just taken the decision that I'm going to now go full time back into the theater."
Time
"When I was at Stratford, the very first thing that I was commissioned to work on was trying to make a musical out of the documentary material about the General Strike, which was the next big historical event in England, after the First World War."
