Ralph Richardson/criticism and Awards

Famous quotes containing the words richardson and/or criticism:

    Insecurity, commonly regarded as a weakness in normal people, is the basic tool of the actor’s trade.
    —Miranda Richardson (b. 1958)

    However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
