Quotes

Karolos Koun(1908-1987)

  • Do not wait for the emotional state to "come". It'll come never. You must be prepared for it to come and be open to it. You must be ready to be stimulated by a sound, a movement, or a silence. Don't be afraid of the pauses. Pause creates poetry and magic... A major actor is the one that listens right, not the one that talks. If you listen right you'll answer convincingly.
  • We play theatre for our souls, to make ourselves better. The audience that seeing as and all together, to help creating a wide, emotionally rich, and unimpaired culture in our country."
Genuine feelings create theatrical magic, and they cannot be generated if our senses aren't stimulated, and our perceptiveness isn't electrified."

As much as the actor adjusts himself with the role so much the role is adjusted to the actor.

(From the book 'Karolos Koun', Ithaca Publications, Greece)
