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

The actor must use his imagination to be able to answer all questions (when, where, why, how). Make the make-believer existence more definite.

In the language of an actor, to know is synonymous with to feel

Remember: there are no small parts, only small actors.

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

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.

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.
