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

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?

The media network has its idols, but its principal idol is its own style which generates an aura of winning and leaves the rest in darkness. It recognizes neither pity nor pitilessness.

Any society's upper-crust is riddled with immorality, how else d'you think they keep their power? Reputation is king of the public sphere, not private. It is dethroned by public acts.

If at first you don’t succeed, then maybe you have the wrong idea of success, or you’re using the wrong standard of measuring it.

Even though that God didn't bring you on earth to turn you into a failure, He still expects you to always do your best before He can do the rest for you.

I never went to acting school, so improv was my training. Just being quick on your feet helps in everyday life.

The only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with what is. When the mind is perfectly clear, what is is what we want.

My parents really wanted me to get out of New York, be exposed to other people, other ways of life.

Books form in us habits of thought which shall live forever with us.

I've spent my life following my passion.

Love is an involuntary reaction to virtue.
