One cannot demand of art that it pay you in any other way than in the satisfaction of the work itself.

Marlon was so sensitive, you thought the poor guy just had a bad education.

Talent is an amalgam of high sensitivity; easy vulnerability; high sensory equipment (seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, tasting intensely); a vivid imagination as well as a grip on reality; the desire to communicate one's own experience and sensations, to make one's self heard and seen.

We were not allowed to say, Screw, but we could say, Hump the hostess, because hump is in Shakespeare.

no work of art is ever finished, nothing is ever static, no performance is for keeps.

The need to be loved and protected is at a peak when we feel abandoned and are particularly vulnerable to difficult circumstances.
