The Play Is Not In The Words,

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 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.

Happy Children Should Not Try To Be Artists. You Have To Be Born With A Broken Heart And A Sense Of Loneliness Inside. I Never Had A Happy Moment As A Child Myself.

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.

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.
