“Acting requires a creative and compassionate attitude. It must aim to lift life up to a higher level of meaning and not tear it down or demean it. The actor's search is a generous quest for that larger meaning. That's why acting is never to be done passively.”
― Stella Adler, The Art of Acting

“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.”
― Stella Adler, The Art of Acting

“You should want to act only because you want to be led to something bigger in life.”
― Stella Adler, The Art of Acting

“You'll begin to act when you can forget your technique - when it is so securely inside you that you need not call upon it consciously.”
― Stella Adler, The Art of Acting
