In talking about a genius, you would not say that he lies; he sees realities with different eyes from ours.

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?

I have a friend who likes to date younger women because their stories are shorter. Old men like us, our stories are longer.

Children throw tantrums because they've imagined their 'father in heaven' does so. And because, their inherited religious book has, in written, shown them so.

I've really actually grown with my girlfriends and the people that they've introduced me to and the way that I've been welcomed in by their families. I'm a very, very lucky man.

Her father was the face of her morning and night, he was everything, so saturating Havaa’s world that she could no more describe him than she could the air.

Start with the end in mind. If you want to be a millionaire, talk like one, act like one, work like one.

True religion is the foundation of society. When that is once shaken by contempt, the whole fabric cannot be stable nor lasting.

But nothing will ever change if we keep pretend. People 'live out loud', as you say, not merely for themselves but for a more honest future.

Relationships are hard regardless! But I think they feed the artist: relationships, children, life, family - it all feeds the artist. Loss. Joy. Sacrifice.

The arrow always tipped with ill nature and sarcasm is deadliest to him who sends it.

Many people need a new rewiring of their heart and mind.
