"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 actors search is a generous quest for that larger meaning. Thats why acting is never to be done passively."
"The teacher has to inspire, to agitate. You cannot teach acting. You can only stimulate whats already there."
"Your talent is in your imagination. The rest is lice."
