Eric Lange: Erwin Sikowitz

Quotes 

• Cat : Hey, Sikowitz, I forget to ask a question about the homework...

  [Mr. Sikowitz throws a ball at her and Cat runs off, screaming. To Tori] 

  Mr. Sikowitz : We'll never know her question.

• [to Sikowitz, upset after learning that she still failed the Bird Scene despite performing it three times in class] 

  Tori Vega : Look, I know that you're a great acting teacher and everything, but I don't care what you think. The scene I just did was good, and I'm proud of it no matter what anybody thinks.

  [the class applauds] 

  Tori Vega : What?

  Mr. Sikowitz : You just passed the Bird Scene!

  [the class cheer and applaud again. To Sikowitz] 

  Tori Vega : But... but you said...

  Mr. Sikowitz : Tori, the whole point of The Bird Scene is to teach a performer, like yourself, to believe in their own choices no matter what others say. We are artists, and a true artist doesn't need approval from others. A true artist only needs to please himself, or herself, or itself.

• [as Tori is performing the Bird Scene for the third time in class] 

  Mr. Sikowitz : You see the bird too, right?

  Beck Oliver : Yeah.

  Mr. Sikowitz : Fantastic.

• [Repeated line] 

  Mr. Sikowitz : Drive-by-acting exercise.

• Tori Vega : So, all three times I did the scene...

  Mr. Sikowitz : Were delightful. It was only wrong when you asked if it was right.
