Actors are athletes of the heart.

No one has ever written, painted, sculpted, modeled, built, or invented except literally to get out of hell.

We do not die because we have to die; we die because one day, and not so long ago, our consciousness was forced to deem it necessary.

So long as we have failed to eliminate any of the causes of human despair, we do not have the right to try to eliminate those means by which man tries to cleanse himself of despair.

Actors are athletes of the heart.
