“We had an extraordinary friendship.  We would sometimes sit up until three in the morning, and he would tell me about his past, his mother, minister, his loves, and the next day he would just look straight through me as if he’d given away or revealed too much of himself.  It would take, after one of these sessions, maybe a couple of days before we’d be back on friendship terms.  He was very afraid to give of himself.”

   - Elizabeth Taylor

“Naturally, I shall always consider the role of Cal in “East of Eden” as a highlight in my career. It marked my debut in motion pictures. But best? Never! I consider my present role in “Rebel Without a Cause” better than the part of Cal. In each succeeding picture, I shall think of the part as better than the one before. I always must do better. I must improve. I must grow with each year. There is no point in an actor’s life when he must feel that he has done his best. I always think that my best is yet to come. When it does arrive, I know that I shall not feel satisfied.”

- James Dean
