Talent is nothing but a prolonged period of attention and a shortened period of mental assimilation.
Love the art in yourself and not yourself in the art.
The greatest wisdom is to realize one's lack of it.
Unless the theatre can ennoble you, make you a better person, you should flee from it.
Create your own method. Don't depend slavishly on mine. Make up something that will work for you! But keep breaking traditions, I beg you.
