In spite of my great admiration for individual splendid talents I do not accept the star system. Collective creative effort is the root of our kind of art. That requires ensemble acting and whoever mars that ensemble is committing a crime not only against his comrades but also against the very art of which he is the servant.

The language of the body is the key that can unlock the soul.

When we are on stage, we are in the here and now.

The theatre infects the audience with its noble ecstasy.

The main factor in any form of creativeness is the life of a human spirit, that of the actor and his part, their joint feelings and subconscious creation.

Don't go so deep in yourself that you no longer exist for your partner and for the character and for the play.

In the given circumstances you must be rooted in the play. Do not depart from the play. Don't cut yourself off from your partner in the scene, or partners.
