Lee J. Cobb's quotes
- We all want to play romantic figures. But because I lost my hair I was stuck playing butchers and crooks.
- The theater is the actor's medium. Movies are the director's medium. Television is nobody's medium.
- If you must compare, Loman is a half-beaker as against Lear's full, overflowing beaker of poetry and emotion. The great difference is that in a production of Lear there is challenge to continual growth. There is no such thing as perfection.
- Willy Loman is nobody's hero, but we are all his bereaved.
- There was no living until I played Willy Loman. Willy Loman is part of my existence. He isn't anyone I can have any objective opinions about.
