Quotes by Alan Arkin (?)

“Either you're growing or you're decaying; there's no middle ground. If you're standing still, you're decaying.”
― Alan Arkin

“Two-thirds of American movies are extensions of commercials — they tell you how to feel and they tell you how to think — rather than letting you figure it out on your own," said Arkin, who has been acting since the 1960s and won the supporting actor Oscar for "Little Miss Sunshine." "Ben treats the audience like adults. He doesn't shove you into endless close-ups, and the music doesn't tell you what's going to happen next, which is something I hate in American movies.”
― Alan Arkin, An Improvised Life: A Memoir: Library Edition

“That's what we're all doing, all the time, whether we know it or not. Whether we like it or not. Creating something on the spur of the moment with the materials at hand. We might just as well let the res tof it go, join the party, and dance our hearts out.”
― Alan Arkin, An Improvised Life: A Memoir
