Rita Litton (from the book “The Actor’s Other Career Book,” by Lisa Mulcahy)
“The famous stage actress Ellen Terry quoted three “I’s” essential for an actor’s success: Intelligence, Imagination and Industry. Of these she thought imagination the most important.

An actor who feels the electric two-way giving and receiving is truly alive.”
