Quotes

  • Personality is more important than beauty, but imagination is more important than both of them.
  • Acting is the physical representation of a mental picture and the projection of an emotional concept.
  • Beautiful women seldom want to act. They are afraid of emotion and they do not try to extract anything from a character that they are portraying, because in expressing emotion they may encourage crow's feet and laughing wrinkles. They avoid anything that will disturb their placidity of countenance, for placidity of countenance insures a smooth skin.
  • Instinct is the direct connection with truth.
