Famous quotes containing the words actor and/or model:
“Once the curtain is raised, the actor ceases to belong to himself. He belongs to his character, to his author, to his public. He must do the impossible to identify himself with the first, not to betray the second, and not to disappoint the third.”

—James Mcneill Whistler (1834–1903)
