If I Wasn't An Actor, I Think

I Am Far From Sure When I Am Acting And When I Am Not Or, Should I More Frankly Put It, When I Am Lying And When I Am Not. For What Is Acting But Lying And What Is Good Acting But Convincing Lying?

The Office Of Drama Is To Exercise, Possibly To Exhaust, Human Emotions. The Purpose Of Comedy Is To Tickle Those Emotions Into An Expression Of Light Relief; Of Tragedy, To Wound Them And Bring The Relief Of Tears. Disgust And Terror Are The Other Points Of The Compass.

If I Wasn't An Actor, I Think I'd Have Gone Mad. You Have To Have Extra Voltage, Some Extra Temperament To Reach Certain Heights.

Without Acting, I Cannot Breathe.
