Things which do not require effort of some sort are seldom worth having.

British girls are as temperamental as Americans.

It has been argued that British girls are incapable of deep feeling or brilliant acting owing to their lack of temperament. This, I am positive, is not true.

Behind the footlights there is always the applause, which stimulates the actors. On the screen it is a different matter.

The average person is gregarious; there is something in the spirit of the crowd that adds to the enjoyment of entertainment.

Actors who are lovers in real life are often incapable if playing the part of lovers to an audience. It is equally true that sympathy between actors who are not lovers may create a temporary emotion that is perfectly sincere.

The public must suffer untold pangs from the stiffness, the deliberate stifling of emotion, on the part of many British actors.
