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.

Quotes from the same author

The ultimate aim of the training is to create an actor who can be responsible for his artistic development and achievement.
 Stella Adler
In life, as on the stage, it's not who I am but what I do that's the measure of my worth and the secret of my success. All the rest is showiness, arrogance and conceit.
 Stella Adler
When an acting teacher tells a student 'that wasn't honest work' or 'that didn't seem real,' what does this mean? In life, we are rarely 'truthful' or 'honest' or 'real'. And characters in plays are almost never 'truthful' or 'honest' or 'real'. What exactly do teachers even mean by these words? A more useful question is: What is the story the actor was telling in their work? An actor is always telling a story. We all are telling stories, all the time. Story: that is what it is all about.
 Stella Adler
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.
 Stella Adler
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.
