I don't know what is better than the work that is given to the actor-to teach the human heart the knowledge of itself.

Laurence Olivier 62 quotes

Living is strife and torment, disappointment and love and sacrifice, golden sunsets and black storms. I said that some time ago, and today I do not think I would add one word.

Laurence Olivier 62 quotes

I'd like people to remember me...

I'd like people to remember me for a diligent expert workman. I think a poet is a workman. I think Shakespeare was a workman. And God's a workman. I don't think there's anything better than a workman.

I don't know what is better than the work that is given to the actor-to teach the human heart the knowledge of itself.

If he was lost for a moment, he would dive straight back into its honey.

Laurence Olivier 62 quotes

I am far from sure when I am acting and when I am not or, should I more frankly put it, when I am lying and when I am not. For what is acting but lying and what is good acting but convincing lying?

Laurence Olivier 62 quotes

When you're a young man, Macbeth is a character part. When you're older, it's a straight part.

No matter how well you perform, there's always somebody of intelligent opinion who thinks it's lousy.

Laurence Olivier 62 quotes

Art is a little bit larger than life - it's an exhalation of life and I think you probably need a little touch of madness.

We used to have actresses trying to become stars; now we have stars trying to become actresses.

Laurence Olivier 62 quotes

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.

Laurence Olivier 62 quotes

Don't waste your time striving for perfection; instead, strive for excellence - doing your best.

Laurence Olivier 62 quotes

What is the main problem of the actor? It is to keep the audience awake, and not let them go to sleep, then wake up and go home feeling they've wasted their money.

Acting is an everlasting search for truth.
