I was born an ordinary actor. I will die an ordinary actor. But I've persisted.
play want actors
You must be so thoroughly immersed in the given circumstances of the play, then you decide what it is at any given moment what that the actor wants.
feelings acting actors
The main factor in any form of creativeness is the life of a human spirit, that of the actor and his part, their joint feelings and subconscious creation.
art theatre actors
Young actors, fear your admirers! Learn in time, from your first steps, to hear, understand and love the cruel truth about yourselves. Find out who can tell you that truth and talk of your art only with those who can tell you the truth.
simple law actors
Our demands are simple, normal, and therefore they are difficult to satisfy. All we ask is that an actor on the stage live in accordance with natural laws.
feelings actors stage
It is only when an actor feels that his inner and outer life on the stage is flowing naturally and normally, in the circumstances that surround him, that the deeper sources of his subconscious gently open, and from them come feelings we cannot always analyse.

acting actors remember
Remember: there are no small parts, only small actors.

When an actor is completely absorbed by some profoundly moving objective so that he throws his whole being passionately into its execution, he reaches a state we call inspiration.

Of course, if you have thought up to now that an actor relies merely on inspiration you will have to change your mind. Talent without work is nothing more than raw unfinished material.

The actor must use his imagination to be able to answer all questions (when, where, why, how). Make the make-believer existence more definite.
interesting actors thousand
The person you are is a thousand times more interesting than the best actor you could ever hope to be.
art alive stage
All art is autobiographical - if it's not, it's not going to quicken on-stage, and it's not going to come alive.
choices borders psychotic
Gratuitous cruelty borders on the pathological, psychotic and that becomes uninteresting because there is no choice.
