Don't be an actor. Be a human being who works off what exists under imaginary circumstances.
Every little moment has a meaning all its own.
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.
Technique is something that you use if you need it. Otherwise, to hell with it.
The truth of your instincts is the root of your foundation.
The American actor is very lucky. Why? Because so little is asked of him.
