All sorts of things occur to you.

Perfectly safe.

That's really, really amazing.

And then last year in Israel, I looked at the picture...

where we become confused and frightened...

and then suddenly there's this huge man lifting you off the ground...

leaning against a crumbling old building and sobbing.

from a young woman who'd been in my group in Poland.

we returned to the singing of the song of Saint Francis...

that Stanislavsky said the actor should constantly ask himself as a character:

whether it's, uh, doing business, or making love...

and I could hear Kozan singing far away in that beautiful bass voice.

- They're reading all these self-help books. - Oh, God!

I mean, I literally lived like a dog.

and meanwhile there's all of this rage and worry and uneasiness...

Anything could be true - the statue of the Virgin Mary...

and I see that coffee there, just the way I wanted it.

- Hmm. - Oh, I have a picture.

of not spending the rest of my life with Chiquita...

It was around dawn, and we put flowers on them...

You know, the sheet was like some great biblical canopy.

who was one of the richest women in the world...

And when I allowed myself to consider the possibility...

thinking they were going to die at any moment.

And then another one said, “Oh, you know, whenever I wear even a hat on stage...

I've been carrying this picture for years and not ever really seeing what it is, you know.

And then we'd sleep from around noon to sunset.

And he prided himself on the fact that he had no fantasy life, no dream life -

I mean, I've always felt that.

What do you mean?

because he knew of the Christian misconception...

It was - It was like a magnificent cobweb.

And I suddenly had this feeling. I mean, you know, I was just sitting there, crying through most of the show.

so that he could push on his fingers and rise off out of his chair.

how does it affect an audience to put on one of these plays...

You know, it's not that wonderful to spend your life on the road.

Of course, there was no makeup, and there were no costumes...

I mean, there must have been periods in history when it would have been possible...

See, I don't think so, 'cause I think it's very likely...

And there'll be nobody left almost to remind them...

I mean, don't you find - isn't it pleasant just to get up in the morning...

So what happened then?

And I mean, uh, when Debby was working as a secretary, you know...

or to somebody we were very close to.

And at one point Chiquita said, “The flag, the flag. Where's the flag?”

I mean, I'm just trying to earn a living...

backwards to the present.

But what was unusual about this improvisation...

I mean, you see, the trouble, Wally, with always being active and doing things...

may very well be a self-perpetuating, unconscious form of brainwashing...

and another played the role of my godfather.

And then one at a time they would ask one of us to come with them...

still there for me to drink in the morning...

I mean, uh - I mean, I can't sleep, my nerves are shot.

when you get right down to it and you ask what was it really about-

I thought, “This is incredible, you know.”

And the only way that I could think of to find out...

of not actually joining the roof to the building...

I mean, that's the story of some kind of spoiled princess, you know.

I mean, what would that mean?

We're phantoms. Who are we?

I mean - I mean, I know what you're talking about...
