Your acting will not be good until it is only yours. That’s true of music, acting, anything creative.

Be a human being who works off what exists under imaginary circumstances  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) Acting is behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) The greatest piece of acting or music or sculpture or what-have-you always has its roots in the truth of human emotion.  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) If you want to reach every person in the audience, it’s not about being bigger, it’s about going deeper.  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) Acting is the ability to live truthfully under the given imaginary circumstances  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) Silence has a myriad of meanings. In the theater, silence is an absence of words, but never an absence of meaning  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) With a developed imagination there’s no place you can’t go  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) Acting is fun... don’t let that get around!  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) Listen with your gut, not your head  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) Find in yourself those human things which are universal  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) There’s no such thing as nothing  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) The foundation of acting is the reality of doing  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) The text is your greatest enemy  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) That which hinders your task is your task  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) Acting is not talking, it’s living off the other fellow!!!  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) The truth of ourselves is the root of our acting  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) Every little moment has a meaning all its own  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) An ounce of behavior is worth a pound of words  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) Being an actor is a religious calling because you’ve been given the ability, the gift to inspire humanity. Think about that on the way to your soap opera audition  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) If you want to reach every person in the audience, it’s not about being bigger, it’s about going deeper  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) Life beats down and crushes our souls and theatre reminds us that we have one. At least the type of theatre that I’m interested in; that is, theatre that moves an audience. You have the opportunity to literally impact the lives of people if they work on material that has integrity. But today, most actors simply want to be famous. Well, being an actor was never supposed to be about fame and money. Being an actor is a religious calling because you’ve been given the ability, the gift to inspire humanity. Think about that on the way to your soap opera audition  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) Your acting will not be good until it is only yours. That’s true of music, acting, anything creative. You work until finally nobody is acting like you  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) You know it’s all right to be wrong, but it’s not all right not to try  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) If you have the emotion, it infects you and the audience. If you don’t have it don’t bother; just say your lines as truthfully as you are capable of doing. You can’t fake emotion  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) The only way to deal with yourself as an actor is to follow the emotional truth of what you have to do under the imaginary circumstances. And as you develop you become confident. You come to believe in what you’re doing and trust it because it’s out of you  (Sanford Meisner Quotes) You can’t learn to act unless you’re criticized. If you tie that criticism to your childhood insecurities you’ll have a terrible time. Instead, you must take criticism objectively, pertaining it only to the work being done  (Sanford Meisner Quotes)
