Never allow yourself externally to portray anything that you have not inwardly experienced and which is not even interesting to you.
Constantin StanislavskiEvery person who is really an artist desires to create inside of himself another, deeper, more interesting life than the one that actually surrounds him.
Constantin StanislavskiRemember this practical piece of advice: Never come into the theatre with mud on your feet. Leave your dust and dirt outside. Check your little worries, squabbles, petty difficulties with your outside clothing - all the things that ruin your life and draw your attention away from your art - at the door.
Constantin Stanislavski
