The Most Important Thing You

In Life, As On The Stage, It's Not Who I Am But What I Do That's The Measure Of My Worth And The Secret Of My Success. All The Rest Is Showiness, Arrogance And Conceit.

When You Most Succeed, You Do So By Seeming Not To Act At All.

You Have To Do Something. If You Do Something, You Become Somebody. Even A Daffodil Does Something, Has A Profession. It Gives Off Scent, Professionally.

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.

The Word Theatre Comes From The Greeks. It Means The Seeing Place.
