The direct effect on our mind is achieved by the words, the text, the thought, which arouse consideration. Our will is directly affected by the super-objective, by other objectives, by a through line of action. Our feelings are directly worked upon by tempo-rhythm.

The theatre infects the audience with its noble ecstasy.

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.

Unless the theatre can ennoble you, make you a better person, you should flee from it.

When an actor is completely absorbed by some profoundly moving objective so that he throws his whole being passionately into its execution, he reaches a state we call inspiration.

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.
