James Dean

“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.”

“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 on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man.”

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

“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.”

“Only the gentle are ever really strong.”

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

“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.”

“Un acteur doit interpréter la vie, et pour ce faire il doit être disposé à accepter toute l'expérience que la vie a à offrir. En fait, il doit chercher plus de vie que la vie met à ses pieds.”
