I have taken film-work that has been a little more cliché-written, to support myself and my family, and that's a whole kind of other challenge. It's like chopping wood: You've got to take what you can get and bless what withstands you. But in theatre! There's enough great theatre that you can find something interesting!

Never allow yourself externally to portray anything that you have not inwardly experienced and which is not even interesting to you.

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.

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

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.

Gratuitous cruelty borders on the pathological, psychotic and that becomes uninteresting because there is no choice.

In life we listen to other people. Listen with varying degrees of concentration and attention, right? Actors must learn to listen in a different way.
