Actors need a kind of aggression, a kind of inner force. Don't be only one-sided, sweet, nice, good. Get rid of being average. Find the killer in you.

It's not important to know who you are. It's important to know what you do, and then to do it like hercules!

Stella Adler 68 quotes

Tell yourself that the world ...

Tell yourself that the world is outside, that it's not to be hidden from you, that you are going to thrust yourself forward and be relaxed in the world. You have chosen a field where you're going to be hurt to the blood. But to retreat from the pain is death

Stella Adler 68 quotes

Today the influences of your society pressure you to be successful before your time. They are pulling you down. They have pulled you down, you big, sweet, magnificent, young, potential artists. They have pulled you down so far that you are on the verge of destruction. Only you don't know it because you want to be a success

Stella Adler 68 quotes

You act with your soul. That's why you all want to be actors, because your souls are not used up by life.

Stella Adler 68 quotes

Don’t use your conscious past. Use your creative imagination to create a past that belongs to your character. I don’t want you to be stuck with your own life. It’s too little.

Your job as actors is to understand the size of what you say, to understand what's beneath the word.

Stella Adler 68 quotes

You have to get beyond your own precious inner experiences. The actor cannot afford to look only to his own life for all his material nor pull strictly from his own experience to find his acting choices and feelings. The ideas of the great playwrights are almost always larger than the experiences of even the best actors.

Stella Adler 68 quotes

The best author is a dead aut...

The best author is a dead author, because he's out of your way and you own the play. Take what he has given you and use it for what you need.

By taking elements you observe in life, you can develop qualities in your acting life that you don't ordinarily call upon in your personal life.

Stella Adler 68 quotes

When you most succeed, you do...

When you most succeed, you do so by seeming not to act at all.

Stella Adler 68 quotes

When you stand on the stage you must have a sense that you are addressing the whole world, and that what you say is so important the whole world must listen.

Stella Adler 68 quotes

One way we can enliven the imagination is to push it toward the illogical. We're not scientists. We don't always have to make the logical, reasonable leap.

Stella Adler 68 quotes

The actor has to develop his body. The actor has to work on his voice. But the most important thing the actor has to work on is his mind.

Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one.
