You don't pick up cues, you pick up impulses.

Every little moment has a meaning all its own.

An ounce of behavior is worth a pound of words.

Acting in a scene is like paddling a canoe from a pebbly beach on to the river, the writer builds the canoe, and the actor provides the river. The river is the actor's thoughts and emotions.

Your acting will not be good until it is only yours. That's true of music, acting, anything creative. You work until finally nobody is acting like you.

The greatest piece of acting or music or sculpture or what-have-you always has its roots in the truth of human emotion.

With a developed imagination there's no place you can't go.
