Love art in yourself, and not yourself in art.

Every person who is really an artist desires to create inside of himself another, deeper, more interesting life than the one that actually surrounds him.

Truth in art is truth n circumstances.

Love the art in yourself and not yourself in the art.

All art is autobiographical - if it's not, it's not going to quicken on-stage, and it's not going to come alive.

Stage charm guarantees in advance an actor's hold on the audience, it helps him to carry over to large numbers of people his creative purposes. It enhances his roles and his art. Yet it is of utmost importance that he use this precious gift with prudence, wisdom, and modesty. It is a great shame when he does not realize this and goes on to exploit, to play on his ability to charm.
