Young Player

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or player:

“Old photograph: amid the set poses of her family, a young girl smiles and raises her hand a little.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic; it is merely a form of emotional masturbation.... It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession. Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
