- When a small child . . . I thought that success spelled happiness. I was wrong, happiness is like a butterfly which appears and delights us for one brief moment, but soon flits away.
- Although one may fail to find happiness in theatrical life, one never wishes to give it up after having once tasted its fruits.
- To follow without halt, one aim; there is the secret of success. And success? What is it? I do not find it in the applause of the theater. It lies rather in the satisfaction of accomplishment.
- As is the case in all branches of art, success depends in a very large measure upon individual initiative and exertion, and cannot be achieved except by dint of hard work.
- Master technique and then forget about it and be natural.
- No one can arrive from being talented alone. God gives talent, work transforms talent into genius.
- What exactly is success? For me it is to be found not in applause, but in the satisfaction of feeling that one is realizing one's ideal.
- Success depends in a very large measure upon individual initiative and exertion, and cannot be achieved except by a dint of hard work.
- Last words of Anna Pavlova: "Get my swan costume ready." Then "Play that last measure softly."
