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

We have as many planes of speech as does a painting planes of perspective which create perspective in a phrase. The most important word stands out most vividly defined in the very foreground of the sound plane. Less important words create a series of deeper planes.

Play well, or play badly, but play truly.

Gratuitous cruelty borders on the pathological, psychotic and that becomes uninteresting because there is no choice.

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

I have taken film-work that has been a little more cliché-written, to support myself and my family, and that's a whole kind of other challenge. It's like chopping wood: You've got to take what you can get and bless what withstands you. But in theatre! There's enough great theatre that you can find something interesting!

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.
