Love the art in yourself and not yourself in the art.

All action in theatre must have inner justification, be logical, coherent, and real.

The life of a character should be an unbroken line of events and emotions, but a play only gives us a few moments on that line - we must create the rest to portray a convincing life.

The person you are is a thousand times more interesting than the best actor you could ever hope to be.

Create your own method. Don't depend slavishly on mine. Make up something that will work for you! But keep breaking traditions, I beg you.

The actor must use his imagination to be able to answer all questions (when, where, why, how). Make the make-believer existence more definite.

The language of the body is the key that can unlock the soul.

What is important to me is not the truth outside myself, but the truth within myself.

Play well, or play badly, but play truly.

Never allow yourself externally to portray anything that you have not inwardly experienced and which is not even interesting to you.

Who am I? What will I be? Why am I here? Where am I going?

An individual who has in his mind that he can accomplish a certain task is far more likely to succeed than the individual that has it in his mind that he will fail.

If I were king of the world there wouldn't be boat people, there would only be people coming in boats. I would mix us all up so that we were all exactly one shade of each other.

You don't have to apologize for being feminine in a male space.

Because we employ no professional preachers, it means that every sermon or lesson in church is given by a regular member - women and men, children and grandparents.

If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me.

There is no more embarrassing thing in my life than the fact that I have actually uttered the phrase, 'I would like to order the Ginsu Knife.'

I haven't got a car or a house. I've got a wife, but I didn't pay for her! I spend all my money on my glorious wife. She's here with a knife at my throat!

The power of nonviolent resistance can only come from honest working of the constructive programme.

A lot of being an actor is being something that people imagine you to be.

Sometimes when I think how good my book can be, I can hardly breathe.
