When we are on stage, we are in the here and now.

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?

No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.

Not only don't diets work, they're actually designed to fail. It's not you or your lack of will power that's the problem. It's that diets by their very nature simply don't work.

The soul of politeness is not a question of rules but of tranquility, humility, and simplicity. And in the taking of tea it finds perhaps its most perfect expression.

I spent the last week of Ryan's life in Indiana, Indianapolis, with Jeanne and Andrea, Jeanne, his mother, Andrea, his sister, and some other beautiful people who came. And it taught me a lesson.

Great news for Pres Obama. He watched football all weekend and tomorrow he will receive the Heisman trophy. Next week he's going to watch NASCAR. Move over, Jimmie Johnson!

I want to be able to infuse some youthful energy and comedy while appreciating the generations before.

One thing I resent is the slur that I just support political candidates because of the business.

I dont wear makeup on the court, but I always wear sunblock. I love getting done up and wearing makeup away from the court though!

I've really learned over the years how to control my adrenaline and let it all out when they shoot the gun versus letting the crowd and the lights and the camera get to me.
