The human being who acts is the human being who lives.

Good health is the most important thing. More than success. More than money. More than power.

Seventy-five percent of great art is hard work only about twenty-five percent is great talent.

Like the Bible, Stanislavsky's basic texts on acting can be quoted to any purpose.

Marilyn always dreamt of being an actress. She didn't, by the way, dream of being just a star. She dreamt of being an actress. And she had always lived somehow with that dream. And that is why, despite the fact that she became one of the most unusual and outstanding stars of all time, she herself was never satisfied. When she came to New York, she began to perceive the possibilities of really accomplishing her dream, of being an actress.

If we cannot see the possibility of greatness, how can we dream it?

Work for the actor lies essentially in two areas: the ability to consistently create reality and the ability to express that reality.
