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

Competition [in a scene] is healthy. Competition is life. Yet most actors refuse to acknowledge this. They don't want to compete. They want to get along. And they are therefore not first-rate actors.

Creating relationship is the heart of acting. It is basic. It is essential.

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