Success is transient, evanescent. The real passion lies in the poignant acquisition of knowledge about all the shading and subtleties of the creative secrets.

Talent is nothing but a prolonged period of attention and a shortened period of mental assimilation.

In the creative process there is the father, the author of the play; the mother, the actor pregnant with the part; and the child, the role to be born.

Remember: there are no small parts, only small actors.

Do not try to push your way through to the front ranks of your profession; do not run after distinctions and rewards; but do your utmost to find an entry into the world of beauty.
