Constantin Stanislavski

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

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.

We define ourselves as intelligent. That's odd, because we're doing the definition - We're creating our own definition and saying, 'We are intelligent!'

I turned into a monk when my mother went to learn Buddhism in Burma. While she learnt at the monastery, I used to roam around with a begging bowl and ask for food.
