Walt Disney "I never called my work an 'art'. It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment." Sam Shepard "On stage, you're not limited at all because you're free in language: language is the source of the imagination. You can travel farther in language than you can in any film." Jeanne Moreau "Acting deals with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Each time an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself." |
