In the studio the director controls the actor's every move, every inflection, every expression..

It was hell to go through what I went through. I didn't know I had so many friends. Many people gave a damn about my situation. They helped cure me..

In Hungary, acting is a profession. In America, it is a decision..

Without movie parts I was reduced to freak status. I just couldn't stand it..

I'll be truthful. The weekly paycheck is the most important thing to me..

Circumstances made me the theatrical personality I am, which many people believe is also a part of my personal life..

It took several years of hard work in small roles before I attained stardom..

The former ruling class kept the community of actors in ignorance by means of various lies..

The stage is near and dear to me..

Of all the roles I've done on the stage, I'm partial to Cyrano de Bergerac..

The screen magnifies everything, even the way you are thinking..

I will not be tortured! I tear torture out of myself by torturing you!.

A screen actor is compensated in the knowledge that millions will see his performance at one time, where only hundreds will see it on the stage..
