In the creative process there is the father, the author of the play; the mother, the actor pregnant with the part; and the child, the role to be born.

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.

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

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

Create your own method. Don't depend slavishly on mine. Make up something that will work for you! But keep breaking traditions, I beg you.

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

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