More quotes by 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
I know for certain of only one commandment, one obligation, that God imposes upon us, and that is to be compassionate toward other human beings.
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
You learn more from the flops than from the hits.
Theodore Bikel
I am filled with awe that filmmakers have the capacity to stir us and give us back a sense of wonder.
Theodore Bikel
If I have one vanity wish, it would be to direct. It's the only thing I haven't done yet that I would like to.
Theodore Bikel
John Huston was the kind of director that totally left you alone. Not every actor always does it right, every time, but most of the time he was re-directing someone. He was making tight adjustments, and not even in terms of interpretation because he knew that by the time that the character had been filmed... well, he got it right when he cast you.
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
Every actor wants to direct and produce, but I made a conscious decision when I was in college to understand the 'business' of 'show business.'
Theodore Bikel
After the advent of the written word, the masses who could not - or were not permitted to - read, were given sermons by the few who could.
Theodore Bikel
I remain convinced that I can be a true universalist only when I am a better Jew.
Theodore Bikel
No heirloom of humankind captures the past as do art and language.
Theodore Bikel
Throughout my life I have cared as deeply about the songs of all peoples as I have about the rights of all peoples.
Theodore Bikel
I do prefer the stage. It's really the granddaddy of them all.
Theodore Bikel
As an artist I have an even more abiding interest in the compact between the Arts and Government.
Theodore Bikel
But there is a difference here: When Jewish children are murdered, Arabs celebrate the deed. The death of an Arab child is no cause for celebration in Israel.
Theodore Bikel
We Jews have a special attachment to the Book. The study of page after page in tomes yellowing with age was obligatory.
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
It's a sad thing to contemplate, but I'm the last surviving cast member of 'The African Queen.'
Theodore Bikel
I am a Zionist, an ardent supporter of Israel, its defender when I deem Israel to be right and its critic when I deem it to be wrong.
