Your Talent Is In Your Choice.

Tell Yourself That The World Is Outside, That It's Not To Be Hidden From You, That You Are Going To Thrust Yourself Forward And Be Relaxed In The World. You Have Chosen A Field Where You're Going To Be Hurt To The Blood. But To Retreat From The Pain Is Death

Your Curse Is That You Have Chosen A Form That Requires Endless Study .... It Means You Have To Read, You Have To Observe, You Have To Think, So That When You Turn Your Imagination On, It Has The Fuel To Do Its Job.

The Actor Has To Develop His Body. The Actor Has To Work On His Voice. But The Most Important Thing The Actor Has To Work On Is His Mind.

You Have To Get Beyond Your Own Precious Inner Experiences. The Actor Cannot Afford To Look Only To His Own Life For All His Material Nor Pull Strictly From His Own Experience To Find His Acting Choices And Feelings. The Ideas Of The Great Playwrights Are Almost Always Larger Than The Experiences Of Even The Best Actors.

One Way We Can Enliven The Imagination Is To Push It Toward The Illogical. We're Not Scientists. We Don't Always Have To Make The Logical, Reasonable Leap.
