“Has anyone ever told you that you overplay your various roles rather severely, Mr. Kaplan? First youre the outraged Madison Avenue man who claims hes been mistaken for someone else. Then you play the fugitive from justice, supposedly trying to clear his name of a crime he knows he didnt commit. And now you play the peevish lover stung by jealously and betrayal. It seems to me you fellows could stand a little less training from the FBI and a little more from the Actors Studio.”
—Ernest Lehman (b.1920)
“I cant stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession, let alone two years or ten years. If you can, then it aint music, its close-order drill or exercise or yodeling or something, not music.”
—Billie Holiday (19151959)
“There were times when I felt that I could bear no more. It was the Emergency Ward which almost broke me. I stood one night beside a man who had been caught in a flywheel, and whose body felt like jelly. I wanted him to die quickly, not to go on breathing. Oh, stop breathing. I cant stand it. Die and stop suffering. I cant stand it. I cant.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (18761958)
“He hardly drinks a pint of wine,
And that, I doubt, is no good sign.
His stomach too begins to fail:
Last year we thought him strong and hale,
But now, hes quite another thing;
I wish he may hold out till spring.
Then hug themselves, and reason thus;
It is not yet so bad with us.”
—Jonathan Swift (16671745)
