In the language of an actor, to know is synonymous with to feel

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.

All art is autobiographical - if it's not, it's not going to quicken on-stage, and it's not going to come alive.

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

What is important to me is not the truth outside myself, but the truth within myself.

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

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.
