[on Katharine Hepburn] The most completely thorough, driving, constantly seeking actress with whom I’m been associated. She’s never really satisfied; she never stops thinking about what she’s doing and about what everybody else is doing. She is a marvelous woman who has a capacity for many emotional areas and she has great talent. She can trigger an emotional truth at precisely the right time. I don’t know what she draws on; it’s a deep, deep well.
