You have to understand your best. Your best isn't Barrymore's best or Olivier's best or my best, but your own. Every person has his norm. And in that norm every person is a star. Olivier could stand on his head and still not be you. Only you can be you. What a privilege! Nobody can reach what you can if you do it. So do it. We need your best, your voice, your body. We don't need for you to imitate anybody, because that would be second best. And second best is no better than your worst.

If you can't take both sides, it means you can only play yourself.

No actor is a success unless he feels inside himself, as long as he lives, that he is good.

You'll never really be great unless you aim high.

Be innocent, wise and ninety-five.

The best author is a dead author, because he's out of your way and you own the play. Take what he has given you and use it for what you need.

The imagination is closer to the actor than real life-more agreeable, more comfortable.
