...Directors liked his way of speaking out of the side of his mouth, as if every threat was a violation of national security. But he could walk the legitimate side of the street with equal authority, playing doctors and policemen. He was an M..D. trying to stop an outbreak of bubonic plague in Elia Kazan's Panic in the Streets, and the head of a psychiatric institution - not one of the patients - in Vincente Minnelli's Cobweb. The best role in his mature years was as the cop in Madigan, a Don Siegel policier that precursed Clint Eastwood...
...Paris, it's this place, it's my girlhood dream come true. Because in 1969, when I was 22, I came to Paris for the first time and stayed just around the corner, in a French crash pad at 9 rue Campagne Premiere. It was a six-floor walk up, with like eight people, and we all slept on the floor. I did a lot of drawings, and taped them all over the walls.

He also drew a distinction between political advice and spiritual guidance, arguing that many Americans know what it's like to disagree with something their pastor or priest or rabbi says...
...people, inevitably, have not always been able to live according to these lucid precepts, and if you walk along the crowded, gritty streets of Dharamsala, you find as many Tibetans looking to the West for salvation as you find Westerners looking to Tibet. Melancholy signs in the Tibetan government-in-exile compound say Tibetan Torture Survivors' Program and Voice Of Tibet (Voice For The Voiceless), and many young Tibetans feel they have spent all their lives dreaming of a country they've never seen. In Tibet, meanwhile, I remember-visiting in 1990, when the shadow of martial law hung over...
