|
| "Acting is the most minor of gifts and not a very high-class way to
earn a living. After all, Shirley Temple could do it at the age of
four." | |

| "American stuntmen are smart ?they think about safety. When they do a
jump in a car, they calculate everything: the speed, the distance.... But
in Hong Kong, we don"t know how to count. Everything we do is a guess. If
you"ve got the guts, you do it. All of my stuntmen have gotten hurt. I
say, "Do it! Camera, action, jump!" Boom! Ambulance! Hospital! Next
stuntman!" | |

| "For an actress to be a success, she must have the face of Venus, the
brains of a Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of a Macaulay,
the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros." | |

Ella Wheeler Wilcox
|
|
| "On the stage ... masks are assumed with some regard to procedure; in
everyday life, the participants act their parts without consideration
either for suitability of scene or for the words spoken by the rest of the
cast: the result is a general tendency for things to be brought to the
level of farce even when the theme is serious enough." | |

| "The ultimate aim of the training is to create an actor who can be
responsible for his artistic development and achievement." | |

|
| "When I"m reading material, if I"m a little bit afraid of a part and
I"m willing to admit that to myself, then I"ll do it, definitely. If I"m
worried about being able to do it, to get it ?I absolutely just love
it." | |
