Since I’m only 24 years old, guess I have as good an insight into this rising generation as any other young man my age.And I’ve discovered that most young men do not stand like ramrods...

You never gave any of us an inch, ever, for what you thought was right,

Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today.

I want to be a Texan 24 hours a day.

Only the gentle are ever really strong.’

I want to be a Texan 24 hours a day,

The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.

There is no way to be truly great in this world. We are all impaled on the crook of conditioning. A fish that is in the water has no choice that he is. Genius would...

It breezes along quite quickly.

Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that’s all you have. Being a good actor isn’t easy. Being a man is even...

To my way of thinking, an actor’s course is set even before he’s out of the cradle.

The only thing I’ve seen so far are just raccoons running all over.

To grasp the full significance of life is the actor’s duty; to interpret it his problem; and to express it his dedication. Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all...

The only greatness for man is immortality.

But I can’t go with you. Son, you drive too fast.’

Rebel Without a Cause.

But you can’t show some far off idyllic conception of behavior if you want the kids to come and see the picture. You’ve got to show what it’s really like, and try to reach them...

Dream as if you’ll live forever; live as if you’ll die tomorrow.

Dream as if you will live forever; Live as if you will die today.

Being a good actor isn’t easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I’m done.

Dream as if you have forever. Live as if you only have today.

An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the experiences life has to offer. In fact, he must seek out more of life than life puts...

Only the gentle are ever really strong.

I think the one thing this picture shows that’s new is the psychological disproportion of the kids’ demands on the parents. Parents are often at fault, but the kids have some work to do, too.

Only the Gentle are truly strong.

I also became close to nature, and am now able to appreciate the beauty with which this world is endowed.

If a man can bridge the gap between life and death,if he can live after he’s died, then maybe he was a great man. Immortality is the only true success.

To me, acting is the most logical way for people’s neuroses to manifest themselves, in this great need we all have to express ourselves.

You’re tearing me apart!

It was an accident, although I’ve been involved in some kind of theatrical function or other since I was a child – in school, music, athletics.

Live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse.

Trust and belief are two prime considerations. You must not allow yourself to be opinionated.

It’s a nice acting challenge for me because the character’s much older and he’s Jewish and he’s quite lonely. At first he feels like his home is being invaded by this person and they have...

Studying cows, pigs and chickens can help an actor develop his character. There are a lot of things I learned from animals. One was that they couldn’t hiss or boo me.

Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.

Eternity? … That is one hell of a movie.

And my heart just did a flip-flop over that.

When an actor plays a scene exactly the way a director orders, it isn’t acting. It’s following instructions. Anyone with the physical qualifications can do that.

Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.
