Adult

Have a very good reason for everything you do.

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

Living is strife and torment, disappointment and love and sacrifice, golden sunsets and black storms. I said that some time ago, and today I do not think I would add one word.

Man
|
Nov 07, 2020

When you're a young man, Macbeth is a character part. When you're older, it's a straight part.

Heart
|
Nov 07, 2020

Purpose
|
Nov 07, 2020

The office of drama is to exercise, possibly to exhaust, human emotions. The purpose of comedy is to tickle those emotions into an expression of light relief; of tragedy, to wound them and bring the relief of tears. Disgust and terror are the other points of the compass.

Culture

Me
|

Honey

If he was lost for a moment, he would dive straight back into its honey.

God
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'd like people to remember me for a diligent expert workman. I think a poet is a workman. I think Shakespeare was a workman. And God's a workman. I don't think there's anything better than a workman.

Feeding
|
Nov 07, 2020

I should be soaring away with my head tilted slightly toward the gods, feeding on the caviar of Shakespeare. An actor must act.

Life

I Am
