It is only when an actor feels that his inner and outer life on the stage is flowing naturally and normally, in the circumstances that surround him, that the deeper sources of his subconscious gently open, and from them come feelings we cannot always analyse.

Play well, or play badly, but play truly.

Don't go so deep in yourself that you no longer exist for your partner and for the character and for the play.

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

Every person who is really an artist desires to create inside of himself another, deeper, more interesting life than the one that actually surrounds him.

Talent is nothing but a prolonged period of attention and a shortened period of mental assimilation.

In the given circumstances you must be rooted in the play. Do not depart from the play. Don't cut yourself off from your partner in the scene, or partners.
