I love Tennessee Williams; as a playwright, he's so poetic.
To me Vivien Leigh was a tragic heroine of classic proportions: chosen, blessed and abandoned by the gods. Obstinately she tried to control and defy her destiny and to know her story is to be inspired by pity and terror.
I loved Marlon Brando: my favorite actor.
I love Marlon Brando. Never seem him bad, just less good.
'A Streetcar Named Desire' is one of the best, if not the best, modern American plays. It deals with family dynamics, mental health, PTSD, war, and love. It's hard to beat.
Tennessee Williams was a gifted talker with a beautiful accent and we had lots of things in common.
I want to do a Tennessee Williams play.
Eugene O'Neil created an American theater, and Tennessee Williams taught it how to sing.
'A Streetcar Named Desire' is the play I've probably read the most times in my life, and I love the weirdness of all the scene outs but especially the end of the second scene, when Williams brings a tamale vendor on stage to simply say, 'Red hot!'
Tennessee Williams moves my soul.
Elia Kazan - the films he made were such a big deal for me when I was growing up.
