"Many students who have come to my classes have shared with me that they had always felt in their lives, they were only expressing a small piece of who they actually were. Isn't this the case with almost all human beings, limited in self expression by severe social training in what is "appropriate" and the intense fear of not being liked. Of course, in the beginning of training, the highly developed internal critic must be moved to the side so that one can re-invigorate the magnificent quality of freedom that we were born with. Our creative self only functions when we are able to completely follow the lead of our instinct rather than the intellect.

"I have a notion that what attracts people to the theatre is a kind of despair. We despair with life as it is lived, so we try to alter it through a model form. We present what we think is possible according to what is possible in the imagination rather than what is socially possible. Perhaps the ultimate in acting through an exploration of behavior is to show not so much another kind of society, but rather another kind of man."
