“With drama, you need to be laughing, in between takes, 'cause you're going to those recesses of your soul and those dangerous parts. Normally, if you're not an actor or some crazy artist, you don't feel the need to run around in those areas. You keep them separate because it's painful.” IfsNeedsFeelsSoulRunningArtistActorsCausesLaughingCrazyDangerousDramaAreasPainfulYour SoulRecess Author:Josh Peck
“It is in the irony of things that the theatre should be the most dangerous place for the actor. But, then, after all, the world is the worst possible place, the most corrupting place, for the human soul. And just as there is no escape from the world, which follows us into the very heart of the desert, so the actor cannot escape the theatre. And the actor who is a dreamer need not. All of us can only strive to remain uncontaminated. In the world we must be unworldly, in the theatre the actor must be untheatrical.” WorldNeedsShouldHumansHeartSoulActorsWorstDangerousTheaterStriveTheatreDesertIronyDreamerHuman SoulDangerous Places Author:Minnie Maddern Fiske
“Teller contended, not implausibly, that hydrogen bombs keep the peace, or at least prevent thermonuclear war, because the consequences of warfare between nuclear powers are now too dangerous. We haven't had a nuclear war yet, have we? But all such arguments assume that the nuclear-armed nations are and always will be, without exception, rational actors, and that bouts of anger and revenge and madness will never overtake their leaders (or military and secret police officers in charge of nuclear weapons). In the century of Hitler and Stalin, this seems ingenuous.” WarSeemsActorsNationsSecretLeaderCenturyMilitaryDangerousHavensWeaponsConsequenceArgumentMadnessPoliceAssumingRevengeNuclearRationalBombsExceptionOfficersNuclear WeaponsWarfarePolice OfficerNuclear WarHydrogenNuclear PowerSecret PoliceHydrogen Bomb Author:Carl Sagan
“All my career, I've said this: Critics and producers think audiences want actors that only present the silhouette and hit the points in the silhouette. What I do is too dangerous.” ThinkingWantSaidActorsCareersAudienceDangerousCriticsProducersSilhouettes Author:Patti LuPone
