Actors should be overheard, not listened to, and the audience is 50 percent of the performance.

I like the ephemeral thing about theatre, every performance is like a ghost - it's there and then it's gone.

Just let the wardrobe do the acting

On the stage he was natural, simple, affecting, 'Twas only when he was off, he was acting

Without acting I cannot breathe.

What is acting but lying and what is good lying but convincing lying?
