An ounce of behavior is worth a pound of words.
You don't pick up cues, you pick up impulses.
That which hinders your task is your task.
Technique is something that you use if you need it. Otherwise, to hell with it.
You can't learn to act unless you're criticized. If you tie that criticism to your childhood insecurities you'll have a terrible time. Instead, you must take criticism objectively, pertaining it only to the work being done.
Courage means willing to risk everything.
