Art is not about something, Art is something

Each action of the actor on the stage should be the visible concomitant of his thoughts.

The dramatic art would appear to be rather a feminine art; it contains in itself all the artifices which belong to the province ofwoman: the desire to please, facility to express emotions and hide defects, and the faculty of assimilation which is the real essence of woman.

Permanent success cannot be achieved except by incessant intellectual labour, always inspired by the ideal.

To be a good actor... it is necessary to have a firmly tempered soul, to be surprised at nothing, to resume each minute the laborious task that has barely just been finished.

Energy creates energy. It is by spending myself that I become rich.

Your words are my food, your breath my wine. You are everything to me.
