The truth of your instincts is the root of your foundation.

Technique is something that you use if you need it. Otherwise, to hell with it.

The foundation of acting is the reality of doing.

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.

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

Courage means willing to risk everything.

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.
