We become
actors without realizing it, and actors without wanting to.

Poet, Critic
The actors
today really need the whip hand. They're so lazy. They
haven't got the sense of pride in their profession that the
less socially elevated musical comedy and music hall people
or acrobats have. The theater has never been any good since
the actors became gentlemen.
-- W. H. Auden
1907-1973, Anglo-American
Poet
I don't get
acting jobs because of my looks.

Acting is a
matter of giving away secrets.
-- Ellen Barkin
1954-, American Actress
For an actress
to be a success, she must have the face of Venus, the brains
of a Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of a
Macaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros.
-- Ethel Barrymore
1879-1959, American Actress
The face of
Garbo is an Idea, that of Hepburn an Event.
-- Roland Barthes

For the
theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too
long than too short. An artiste with short arms can never,
never make a fine gesture.
-- Sarah Bernhardt
1844-1923, French Actress
