For the theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too long than too short. An artiste with short arms can never, never make a fine gesture.

Drawing is giving a performance; an artist is an actor who is not limited by the body, only by his ability and, perhaps, experience.

Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.

I always feel that art in general and acting in particular should make the audience a little uncomfortable, to slap them and wake them up.

There is something about seeing real people on a stage that makes a bad play more intimately, more personally offensive than any other art form.

No art is any good unless you can feel how it's put together. By and large it's the eye, the hand and if it's any good, you feel the body. Most of the best stuff seems to be a complete gesture, the totality of the artist's body; you can really lean on it.

Each role demands the right actor. To play an artist, one must be an artist.

I guess what all artists want is for their work to touch someone or for it to be thought provoking.

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.

Artists need to express.
