"Find your mark. Look the other person in the eye.
 And tell the truth."

James Cagney















 

 

 

 

 

 

There are no rules. There is no "right" way to do anything. You can only tell the truth on stage. That's all you can do. It's simple. 

Telling the truth is the simplest way. It sounds easy. It is not. Getting to the truth is simple, but it's not easy. The truth is what is left when you strip away everything else.

"You have to be courageous and on your toes, ready for deeply felt exchanges.

YOU are the part. It's your feelings that matter - it's how you feel, because the rest of it is just a concept, an idea - just words on a paper.

A good actor is someone who allows everything in, whose willing to trust himself and abandon himself to the circumstances.

You have to be willing to throw yourself in, and not know what the hell's going to happen. Be willing to take that trip, that adventure."
