I'll tell you this: you cannot escape the impact of emotion, whether it's in a big theater or a tiny one. If you have it, it inflates you — correction, 'inflates' is not a good word. If you have it, it infects you and the audience. If you don't have it — don't bother; just say the lines as truthfully as you are capable of doing. You can't fake emotion. It immediately exposes the fact that you ain't got it.

Don't be an actor. Be a human being who works off what exists under imaginary circumstances.

The text is your greatest enemy.

Listen with your gut, not your head.

The foundation of acting is the reality of doing.

If you want to reach every person in the audience, it's not about being bigger, it's about going deeper.

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