Theodore Bikel
You don't really need modernity in order to exist totally and fully. You need a mixture of modernity and tradition.
Theodore Bikel

Theodore Bikel

Theodore Bikel
Having come to live in this age is as though one were to have entered another country. Learn its language or risk being left out.
Theodore Bikel

Theodore Bikel
I have always striven to raise the voice of hope for a world where hate gives way to respect and oppression to liberation.
Theodore Bikel
The play is always fresh to me. It's not the audience's fault that I've said the words before.
Theodore Bikel
On the stage you're there, it's live. There's a beginning, a middle, an end. When something is funny you hear it right away.
Theodore Bikel
