(in no particular order)
- Everyone tries to do the best they
can. - Total commitment to my action.
- Total commitment to my action
requires will, disicipline, and courage. - Tell the truth.
- Practice craft habitually.
- Practice my action til it’s
habitual. - Have the strength of mind to
analyse the script correctly. - Ensure every line of dialogue is
encompassed by my action. - Only concern myself with action.
- Be generous.
- Trust my preparation.
- Preparation is a point of
departure, not the destination. - Don’ try and force the moment to
conform to my preparation, improvise in the moment in response to
what is actually happening in the moment. - Memorize the lines until they are
habitual. - Your performance is a presentation
before an audience. - Character is created in the mind
of the viewer by the juxtaposition of the actions of the actor with
the fiction of the script. - Relax.
- Give everything.
- Use your imagination.
- Any emotion which is not
organically created by my attempts to do my action, is a lie. - The outcome is no concern of mine.
- Listen.

Not sure I know what you mean by "validate" the character. Whether or not a director thinks a certaing actor is right for the part or not, largly depends on the director’s subconscious response to the script, I mean, just how many different actors have played Hamlet?
