The role seemed to demand that I keep myself worked up to fever pitch, so I took on the actual attributes of the horrible vampire, Dracula.

I have never met a vampire personally, but I don't know what might happen tomorrow.

Martyrdom was the price of enthusiasm for acting.

My body grew hot, then cold. I tried to eat the bed sheets. My heart beat madly. Every joint in my body ached. When I took the cure they took it all away from me.

I've been using narcotics for 20 years.

Death, the final, triumphant lover.

The stage is near and dear to me.
