When You Most Succeed, You Do So

The Play Is Not In The Words, It’s In You!

You Act With Your Soul. That's Why You All Want To Be Actors, Because Your Souls Are Not Used Up By Life.

Your Job As Actors Is To Understand The Size Of What You Say, To Understand What's Beneath The Word.

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.

Today The Influences Of Your Society Pressure You To Be Successful Before Your Time. They Are Pulling You Down. They Have Pulled You Down, You Big, Sweet, Magnificent, Young, Potential Artists. They Have Pulled You Down So Far That You Are On The Verge Of Destruction. Only You Don't Know It Because You Want To Be A Success
