Some Robert Lewis quotes

Lewis to Brando:
"Why go to class at all if not to stretch yourself? Even if you never play a part like that, it will at least help you find the prince in any bum you have to do. Don't hang around in comfortable places."

"When you are relaxed, with no muscular tension, your technique is not apparent."

"In acting...you must not think 'leaders' as being BETTER than 'followers.'"

"The actor should WELCOME unconventional demands on his thinking and his movements. The solutions, when found, inevitably lead to a more interesting performance."

"Crying...is not the sole object of acting." (This makes me chuckle a bit)
