Sometimes the best thing you could do is a real bad film . . . you could improvise all over the place and probably only improve the script.

That's why gurus or teachers who have found the truth are effectively dead. The artist must continue to look for a new reference. Every day, every performance, every take.

Acting is an art form. If you are not creating something that's unusual and informative and at least has the possibility of being illuminating then you are not into it as an art form.

[on various acting "techniques"] Too often these techniques are like little religions. The "truth" is there and you are now worshiping at the shrine with these sad little priests and priestesses who are too afraid to go out there and learn something new for themselves.
