If the whole is to be Art, the parts must not try to be..
Beyond the deepest tragedy there is laughter; even in the midst of tragedy there is always the possibility for laughter..
The only real mistake here is ignoring the inner voice..
Every interpersonal situation has a solution in which everyone wins..
The absolute worst thing you can do in a scene is be apathetic..
If we treat each other as if we are geniuses, poets and artists, we have a better chance of becoming that on stage..
I'm tired of being the funniest person in the room..
Where do the really best laughs come from? Terrific connections made intellectually, or terrific revelations made emotionally..
Treat your audience like poets and geniuses and they’ll have the chance to become them..
Trust...trust your fellow actors to support you; trust them to come through if you lay something heavy on them; trust yourself..
The truth is funny. Honest discovery, observation, and reaction is better than contrived invention..
Fall, then figure out what to do on the way down..
The only rule is that there are no rules..
The more you know, the more you can make fun of.
No scene is ever about the words being spoken..
It's not about the journey. It's about the people you meet..
