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.

An actor is looking for conflict. Conflict is what creates drama. We are taught to avoid trouble [so] actors don't realize they must go looking for it. Plays are written about...the extraordinary, the unusual, the climaxes. The more conflict actors find, the more interesting the performance.

The first step to a better audition is to give up character and use yourself.

Consistency is the death of good acting.

To go into acting is like asking for admission to an insane asylum. Anyone may apply, but only the certifiably insane are admitted.

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

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