Theodore Bikel

For I firmly believe that Jewish life, indeed any communal life, can only be organized according to democratic principles.

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.

I am a universalist, passionately devoted to the cause of equality within the human family.

I refuse to spend my life worrying about what I eat. There is no pleasure worth forgoing just for an extra three years in the geriatric ward.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

Fear follows crime and is its punishment.
