Concentrate on the physical action this is
when you are already working on a scene with an
actual prop, examining the knife look at it
closely, test its edge with your finger, find out
whether its handle is firm or not .
Konstantin Stanislavski, in Lee Strasberg, A
Dream of Passion (1987)
Let your thoughts sink deep into your memories.
Do not, however, look for sombre colors just
because you are acting the murderer and you want
to kill your enemy. Allow your memory, your
thought, to paint you the picture of your former
friendship with your rival when your friendship
with him began, picture to yourself the loving
faces of your mother and of his mother, and so on
and so forth. Konstantin
Stanislavski, in Lee Strasberg, A Dream of
Passion (1987)

I dont know whats inside me . I dont know
what happens when I act. but if I let them
dissect me like a rabbit in a clinical research
laboratory or something, then I might not be able
to produce again. They might sterilize me.
That man Strasberg  had no right to
tear me down like that. You keep knocking a guy
down and you take the guts away from him. And
whats an actor without guts? James
Dean

Directing James Dean was like directing the
faithful Lassie. I either lectured him or
terrorized him, flattered him furiously, tapped
him on the shoulder or kicked his backside. He
was so instinctive and so stupid in many ways.
Konstantin Stanislavski, in Lee
Strasberg, A Dream of Passion (1987)
