A good or great performance is like peeling an onion; in every scene you reveal another layer, something the audience hasn't seen until then. They stay involved because they are constantly learning about and discovering the character they are watching. They can't take you for granted and it keeps them hooked.

You're not simply entitled to be an actor - you're not an actor just because you call yourself one - you earn it. You earn it by working.

You can't play an emotional condition; you have an emotional condition, and because you have that condition, you try to overcome it with active doings (intentions).

Acting represents all that human beings experience, and if you want it to be 'nice,' you will never be a serious communicator of the human experience.
