Montgomery Clift Quotes

«The only line that's wrong in Shakespeare is 'holding a mirror up to nature.' You hold a magnifying glass up to nature. As an actor you just enlarge it enough so that your audience can identify with the situation. If it were a mirror, we would have no art.»
«Failure and its accompanying misery is for the artist his most vital source of creative energy.»
«The sadness of our existence should not leave us blunted, on the contrary - how to remain thin-skinned, vulnerable and stay alive?»
«A man should be what he can do'»
«The closer we come to the negative, to death, the more we blossom.»
«Look, I'm not odd. I'm just trying to be an actor; not a movie star, an actor.»
