Quotes
- “It takes three things to make it in this business: the tenacity of a bulldog, the hide of a rhinoceros and a good home to come home to.”
- “The theatre was created to tell people the truth about life and the social situation.”
- “In your choices lies your talent.”
- “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 actor's search is a generous quest for that larger meaning. That's why acting is never to be done passively.”
- “The teacher has to inspire, to agitate. You cannot teach acting. You can only stimulate what's already there.”
- “Your talent is in your imagination. The rest is lice.”
