Lawrence Barrett

“Acting is the most personal of our crafts. The make-up of a human being – his physical, mental and emotional habits – are the tools of his trade.”

“Reputation is a bubble which a man bursts when he tries to blow it for himself.”

“A man who is not a good man to his mother is not a good man.”

“Let us have a great actor, and he can do without a great play. A great play can do without a great actor.”

“The actor should be able to create the universe in the palm of his hand.”

“An actor's life is a perpetual study.”

“To be a good actor, you must be a good man.”
