The person you are is a thousand times more interesting than the best actor you could ever hope to be.

Stage charm guarantees in advance an actor's hold on the audience, it helps him to carry over to large numbers of people his creative purposes. It enhances his roles and his art. Yet it is of utmost importance that he use this precious gift with prudence, wisdom, and modesty. It is a great shame when he does not realize this and goes on to exploit, to play on his ability to charm.

Never allow yourself externally to portray anything that you have not inwardly experienced and which is not even interesting to you.

The main factor in any form of creativeness is the life of a human spirit, that of the actor and his part, their joint feelings and subconscious creation.

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.

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

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