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'll never see any two good actors approach a role in the same way.

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.

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.

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

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

In life we listen to other people. Listen with varying degrees of concentration and attention, right? Actors must learn to listen in a different way.
