Back to culture. Yes, actually to culture. You can’t consume much if you sit still and read books.

The thing that impresses me most about this country is its hopefulness. It is this which distinguishes it from Europe, where there is hopeless depression and fear.

Perhaps it's good for one to suffer. Can an artist do anything if he's happy? Would he ever want to do anything? What is art, after all, but a protest against the horrible inclemency of life?

Dedicated to all those who say: "I don't have time for analytics" or "I don't understand analytics".

Good is a product of the ethical and spiritual artistry of individuals; it cannot be mass-produced.

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.

To be excited is still to be unsatisfied.
