Create your own method. Don't depend slavishly on mine. Make up something that will work for you! But keep breaking traditions, I beg you.

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

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

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

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

All action in theatre must have inner justification, be logical, coherent, and real.

In spite of my great admiration for individual splendid talents I do not accept the star system. Collective creative effort is the root of our kind of art. That requires ensemble acting and whoever mars that ensemble is committing a crime not only against his comrades but also against the very art of which he is the servant.
