”I used to go to the theater all the time. I grew up in the Bronx, and I went to the Broadway theater all the time, sometimes for the $3.25 top. It went up from there gradually, but I don’t remember anything more than $8 at the most for the best orchestra seats. And now, I’m an elderly successful actor, and I cannot afford to go to the theater…I have other expenses, and they have to come first because I need a roof over my head. I cannot afford to go to a theater, or to the opera. I used to go to the opera all the time. But for $250 a seat? It’s a crime.

”You know as well as I do that the dead don’t stay interested in us living people for very long. Gradually, gradually, they lose hold of the earth…and the ambitions they had…and the pleasures they had…and the things they suffered…and the people they loved.

They get weaned away from the earth — that’s the way I put it, — weaned away.

And they stay here while the earth part of ‘em burns away, burns out; and all the time they slowly get indifferent to what’s goin’ on in Grover’s Corners.

They’re waitin’. They’re waitin’ for something that they feel is comin’. Something important, and great. Aren’t they waitin’ for the eternal part in them to come out clear?

”I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.
