The actor must use his imagination to be able to answer all questions (when, where, why, how). Make the make-believer existence more definite.

It is only when an actor feels that his inner and outer life on the stage is flowing naturally and normally, in the circumstances that surround him, that the deeper sources of his subconscious gently open, and from them come feelings we cannot always analyse.

Remember: there are no small parts, only small actors.

All art is autobiographical - if it's not, it's not going to quicken on-stage, and it's not going to come alive.

In the creative process there is the father, the author of the play; the mother, the actor pregnant with the part; and the child, the role to be born.

You must be so thoroughly immersed in the given circumstances of the play, then you decide what it is at any given moment what that the actor wants.

Every person who is really an artist desires to create inside of himself another, deeper, more interesting life than the one that actually surrounds him.
