Everything, I think, about acting is based on imagination.

The opportunities of man are limited only by his imagination. But so few have imagination that there are ten thousand fiddlers to one composer.

Imagination is the wide-open eye which leads us always to see truth more vividly.

An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in my imagination, it becomes my life, and it stays part of my life long after I've left the opera house.

You may be sure that the Americans will commit all the stupidities they can think of, plus some that are beyond imagination.
