Consistency is the death of good acting.

Most actors make themselves unhappy by searching for their sanity, by insisting on their normalcy; it's a grave mistake.

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

Everyone thinks romance is weak. Yet romance is everyone's secret dream-it's why we're alive.

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.

That's why there's so little romance in our world now: everyone thinks romance is weak.

There's only one reason why a character drinks: to seek confrontation. To fight for what they want in ways normally denied them.
