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.

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.

Doubt is the enemy of creativeness.

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

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!

In the circle of light on the state in the midst of darkness, you have the sensation of being entirely alone... This is called solitude in public... During a performance, before an audience of thousands, you can always enclose yourself in this circle, like a snail in its shell... You can carry it wherever you go.

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