Technique is something that you use if you need it. Otherwise, to hell with it.
Don't be an actor. Be a human being who works off what exists under imaginary circumstances.
The text is your greatest enemy.
With a developed imagination there's no place you can't go.
An ounce of behavior is worth a pound of words.
The only way to deal with yourself as an actor is to follow the emotional truth of what you have to do under the imaginary circumstances. And as you develop you become confident. You come to believe in what you're doing and trust it because it's out of you.
