You will fail. That's great. Here's a secret for you - that's the only way you can learn. Learning has to cost you something. If you fail but learn something from your failure, you will grow.

Tell yourself that the world is outside, that it's not to be hidden from you, that you are going to thrust yourself forward and be relaxed in the world. You have chosen a field where you're going to be hurt to the blood. But to retreat from the pain is death

You'll begin to act when you can forget your technique - when it is so securely inside you that you need not call upon it consciously.

You should want to act only because you want to be led to something bigger in life.

Acting requires a creative and compassionate attitude. It must aim to lift life up to a higher level of meaning and not tear it down or demean it. The actor's search is a generous quest for that larger meaning. That's why acting is never to be done passively.

The actor must be full of passion. If he's too cool he's better off as the manager of a company, not someone who appears on the stage.

Acting can be the healthiest profession in the world, because it allows you to do things you can't do in real life. It allows you to understand more than just what life provides you.

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

We dress the way we think.
