Famous quotes containing the words influence and/or acting:

    I believe that the influence of woman will save the country before every other power.
    Lucy Stone (1818–1893)

    We don’t want bores in the theatre. We don’t want standardised acting, standard actors with standard-shaped legs. Acting needs everybody, cripples, dwarfs and people with noses so long. Give us something that is different.
