Don't be taken in by the guff that critics are killing the theater. Commonly they sin on the side of enthusiasm. Too often they give their blessing to trash.

Cocaine isn't habit forming. I should know - I've been using it for years.

It's the good girls who keep diaries; the bad girls never have the time.
