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.

A true priest is aware of the presence of the altar during every moment that he is conducting a service. It is exactly the same way that a true artist should react to the stage all the time he is in the theater. An actor who is incapable of this feeling will never be a true artist.

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.

All action in theatre must have inner justification, be logical, coherent, and real.

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

The character has to have some kind of arch. The character has to go through an event, and be changed by the human event.

Success is transient, evanescent. The real passion lies in the poignant acquisition of knowledge about all the shading and subtleties of the creative secrets.
