Remember this practical piece of advice: Never come into the theatre with mud on your feet. Leave your dust and dirt outside. Check your little worries, squabbles, petty difficulties with your outside clothing - all the things that ruin your life and draw your attention away from your art - at the door.

The theatre infects the audience with its noble ecstasy.

Our demands are simple, normal, and therefore they are difficult to satisfy. All we ask is that an actor on the stage live in accordance with natural laws.

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.

Fear your admirers! Learn in time to hear, understand, and love the cruel truth about yourselves!

Love the art in yourself, not yourself in the art.

Talent is nothing but a prolonged period of attention and a shortened period of mental assimilation.
