"Uta Hagen is our greatest living actor; she is, moreover, interested and mystified by the presence of talent and its workings; her third gift is a passion to communicate the mysteries of the craft to which she has given her life. There are almost no American actors uninfluenced by her."

-- Fritz Weaver

But I have often found it inconvenient - in America.”

“I have two things going for me. The first is the fidelity to my principles, and the other is my ability to show up for the fight every day. Period that.”
“Fiction is very important to me. It's what I do, it's what I do with my life.”
