Stella Adler Actors Quotations

No actor is a success unless he feels inside himself, as long as he lives, that he is good.

Growth as an actor and as a human being are synonymous.

The imagination is closer to the actor than real life-more agreeable, more comfortable.

The ideas of the great playwrights are almost always larger than the experiences of even the best actors.

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

Life is boring. The weather is boring. Actors must not be boring.

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

The actor must be full of passion. If he's too cool he's better off as the manager of a company, not someone who appears on the stage.

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

To grow: that is your deepest and truest need when you say, 'I want to be an actor.'
