So I live in Leicester and it's supposed to be boiling hot right now. But every day I'm sat in my room curled up next to my radiator on full heat because I'm so cold. This is no summer!

I'm sat here at 11am listening to music looking out my window. I'm sat here wondering what my life is gonna be like when I finish all my studies. Am I going to be acting in theatre, am I going to be stuck in a dead end job, I guess I'll hav…

Remember, for all time, that when you begin to study each role you should first gather all the materials that have any bearing on it, and supplement them with more and more imagination, until you have achieved such a similarity to life that…

In moments of doubt, when your thoughts, feelings, and imaginations are silent, remember if.

You have learned that all action in the theatre must have an inner justification, be logical, coherent and real.

Every person who is really an artist desires to create inside of himself another, deeper, more interesting life than the one that actually surrounds him.

If it is uncomfortable to act for no reason at all, why then, find a reason.

You must not copy passions or copy types. You must live in the passions and in the types. Your acting of them must grow out of your living in them.

On the stage do not run for the sake of running, or suffer for the sake of suffering. Don't act "in general", for the sake of action; always act with a purpose.

On the stage it is necessary to act, either outwardly or inwardly.

On the stage, you must always be enacting something; action, motion is the basis of the art followed by the actor.

Whatever happens on the stage must be for a purpose. Even keeping your seat must be for a purpose, a specific purpose, not merely the general purpose of being in sight of the audience. One must earn one's right to be sitting there. And it i…

Today I noticed how impatient a person can be! They wanted something and they don't have the money so they ask their parents for the money! I don't agree with this, if you want something you have to get it like the rest of us.....by SAVING …

I know I don't have to make this scary decision for another two years but I can't help but think about it! Do I get a student loan and head to uni and possibly get the worst acting training going. Or do I head to Drama School and be taught …

The theatre, on account of its publicity and spectacular side, attracts many people who merely want to capitalise their beauty or make careers. They take advantage of the ignorance of the public, it's perverted taste, favouritism, intrigues…

A role which is built of truth will grow, whereas one built on stereotype will shrivel.

Never allow yourself externally to portray anything that you have not inwardly experienced and which is not even interesting to you.

It is important to know what you are feeling on the stage, because it often happens that even the most experienced actors work out at home and carry on to the stage something which is neither important nor essential for their parts.

The actor creates his model in his imagination, and then, just as does the painter, he takes every feature of it and transfers it, not on to canvas, but on to himself.

You should first of all assimilate the model. This is complicated. You study it from the point of view of the epoch, the time, the country, condition of life, background, literature, psychology, the soul, way of living, social position, and…

You must be very careful in the use of a mirror. It teaches an actor to watch the outside rather than the inside of his soul, both in himself and in his part.

In our art you must live the part every moment that you are playing it, and every time. Each time it is recreated it must be lived afresh and incarnated afresh.

The great actor should be full of feeling, and especially he should feel the thing he is portraying. He must feel an emotion not only once or twice while he is studying his part, but to a greater or lesser degree every time he plays it, no …

To arouse a desire to create is difficult; to kill that desire is extremely easy. If I interfere with my own work, it is my affair, but what right have I to hold up the work of a whole group? The actor, no less than the soldier, must be sub…
