Work for the actor lies in two areas: the ability to consistently create reality and the ability to express that reality.

The actor creates with his own flesh and blood all those things which all the arts try in some way to describe.

An actors' tribute to me is in his work.

A great actor is independent of the poet, because the supreme essence of feeling does not reside in prose or in verse, but in the accent with which it is delivered.

The dignity of man lies in his ability to face reality in all of its meaninglessness

Acting isn't something you do. Instead of doing it, it occurs. If you're going to start with logic, you might as well give up. You can have conscious preparation, but you have unconscious results.
