All art is autobiographical - if it's not, it's not going to quicken on-stage, and it's not going to come alive.

In every physical action, unless it is purely mechanical, there is concealed some inner action, some feelings. This is how the two levels of life in a part are created, the inner and the outer. They are intertwined. A common purpose brings them together and reinforces the unbreakable bond.

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

You'll never see any two good actors approach a role in the same way.

The greatest wisdom is to realize one's lack of it.

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

The theatre infects the audience with its noble ecstasy.
