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.

It is through you, actors, that the forces which are understood by millions and that tell of everything that is beautiful on earth, find expression. The forces which reveal to people the happiness of living in a widened consciousness and in the joy of creative work for the whole world. You, the actors of a theatre, which is one of the centres of human culture, will never be understood by the people if you are unable to reflect the spiritual needs of your time, the now in which you are living.

What is important to me is not the truth outside myself, but the truth within myself.

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.

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

The person you are is a thousand times more interesting than the best actor you could ever hope to be.

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