Listening is not merely hearing, it is receiving the message that is being sent to you. Listening is reacting. Listening is being affected by what you hear. Listening is letting it land before you react. Listening is letting your reaction make a difference. Listening is active.

An actor must make his needs (goals, wants, objectives) so strong that he is willing to interfere with the other actor in order to get what he needs. Interfering means getting in their way so that what you want is stronger than what they want.

The moral: Don't settle for anything less than the biggest dream for your future Fight to make the dream come true.

The actor needs to find out what the basic fight is in every character in every scene.

Every scene is a love scene. The actor should ask the question: 'Where is the love?'

The life of an actor is a bit easier to take if you admit you're bonkers.

An expression of feeling isn't worth anything unless it interferes with what the other actor in the scene wants.
