Jason Robards's quotes

An actor doesn't change thought, theme, or mood unless the character does, and the character only does it within the words of the play.
I've always played disintegrated characters.
Once you're on [stage], nobody can say, "Cut it". You're out there on your own, and there's always that thrill of a real live audience.
The theatre has kept me alive, and it's allowed me to work at my craft.
[about Arthur Miller's semi-autobiographical play "After the Fall"] They should have called it "After the Money"!
Sometimes you do junk just to keep alive. You know it's junk when you go in. You just hope you will do the best you can, and that the film will be entertaining. Many times, it isn't, but you just do those things to pay the bills.
