"Acting is illusion, as much illusion as magic is, and not so much a matter of being real.""If I wasn't an actor, I think I'd have gone mad. You have to have extra voltage, some extra temperament to reach certain heights. Art is a little bit larger than life- it's an exhalation of life and I think I you probably need a little touch of madness.""Work is life for me, it is the only point of life-and with it there is almost religious belief that service is everything.""Without Acting I Cannot Breathe.""What is acting but lying and what is good lying but convincing lying?""Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult."Sir Lawrence Oliver
