It's Not Enough To Have Talent. You

You Have To Get Beyond Your Own Precious Inner Experiences. The Actor Cannot Afford To Look Only To His Own Life For All His Material Nor Pull Strictly From His Own Experience To Find His Acting Choices And Feelings. The Ideas Of The Great Playwrights Are Almost Always Larger Than The Experiences Of Even The Best Actors.

The Actor Has To Develop His Body. The Actor Has To Work On His Voice. But The Most Important Thing The Actor Has To Work On Is His Mind.

Your Curse Is That You Have Chosen A Form That Requires Endless Study .... It Means You Have To Read, You Have To Observe, You Have To Think, So That When You Turn Your Imagination On, It Has The Fuel To Do Its Job.

You'll Never Really Be Great Unless You Aim High.

You Have To Do Something. If You Do Something, You Become Somebody. Even A Daffodil Does Something, Has A Profession. It Gives Off Scent, Professionally.
