If You're An Artist, You've Got To

I Have To Act To Live.

Living Is Strife And Torment, Disappointment And Love And Sacrifice, Golden Sunsets And Black Storms. I Said That Some Time Ago, And Today I Do Not Think I Would Add One Word.

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.

My Stage Successes Have Provided Me With The Greatest Moments Outside Myself, My Film Successes The Best Moments, Professionally, Within Myself.

Acting Is A Masochistic Form Of Exhibitionism. It Is Not Quite The Occupation Of An Adult.
