James Dean

The only way to make a scene realistic is to do it the way you know it would really happen.

I used to fly around quite a bit, you know? I took a lot of unnecessary chances on the highways. And I started racing, and now I drive on the highways, I'm extra cautious because no one knows what they're doing half the time. You don't know what this guy is going to do or that one.

Racing is the only time I feel whole.

An actor should be judged by his performance only.

You can do 'Hamlet' while performing cartwheels... as long as the audience sees your eyes - you can make the performance real.

There is no way to be truly great in this world. We are all impaled on the crook of conditioning.
