Remember: there are no small parts, only small actors.

When an actor is completely absorbed by some profoundly moving objective so that he throws his whole being passionately into its execution, he reaches a state we call inspiration.

You must be so thoroughly immersed in the given circumstances of the play, then you decide what it is at any given moment what that the actor wants.

Play well, or play badly, but play truly.

Who am I? What will I be? Why am I here? Where am I going?
