“Acting is a skill that not only requires talent, but a determination: The willpower to shake off reality and plunge yourself into yourself into a character than you have to act on.”

“It is easier to act yourself into a new way of thinking, than it is to think yourself into a new way of acting.”

“It is easier to act yourself into a new way of feeling than to feel yourself into a new way of acting.”

“Everyone has to act out of character sometimes. It's like taking your clothes off: you feel free without your character but very naked, unprotected. Unfinished. So you get dressed again- you put on yourself-and then you know who you are.”

“The most creative act you will ever undertake is the act of creating yourself.”

“What's the best part of acting? It's the indescribable feeling of being someone you are and someone your not, all at the same time. Acting is finding a character that's in you, forgetting yourself, and then bringing out this whole other person. Character is all that matters when you're on a stage.”
