—Jeanne Moreau (b. 1928)
“The old-fashioned idea that the simple piling up of experiences, one on top of another, can make you an artist, is, of course, so much rubbish. If acting were just a matter of experience, then any busy harlot could make Garbos Camille pale.”
—Helen Hayes (19001993)
“I would rather miss the mark acting well than win the day acting basely.”
—Sophocles (497406/5 B.C.)
