Joseph Chaikin quotes
-
“The [Great] Actor is able to approach in himself a cosmic dread as large as life. He is able to go from his dread to a joy so sweet that it is without limit. Only then will the actor have direct access to the life that moves in him, which is as free as his breathing. And like his breathing, he doesn't cause it to happen. He doesn't contain it, and it doesn't contain him.”

“A woman must be a cute, cuddly, naive little thing - tender, sweet, and stupid.”
