Here are 2 of his quotes:

What goes on between an actor and the audience, at its best, is a dialogue. Sometimes you watch an actor on stage and somehow the performance isn't getting through. The fourth wall is not only closed, it's soundproofed. That's because the actor isn't connecting with the living and breathing human beings in the room with him. The audience feels the distance and they react accordingly. As an actor, you have to fire up your sensors at 100 percent all the time. You have to be in touch with all those heartbeats in the audience, connect with them. Sometimes during the Grinch performances, a child will shout out something. And I'll turn right around, look them in the eye and respond to them.
