Doubt is the enemy of creativeness.

Every person who is really an artist desires to create inside of himself another, deeper, more interesting life than the one that actually surrounds him.

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.

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

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.

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

Of course, if you have thought up to now that an actor relies merely on inspiration you will have to change your mind. Talent without work is nothing more than raw unfinished material.
