“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
“I am interested in the non-dramatic moments in life. I`m not at all attracted to making films that are about drama.

“With most people, not describable as artists, all the finer part of their vitality goes into sex. They become third-rate poets during their courtship. All their instincts of drama come out freshly with their wives.

Its first creation is the Artist himself, a new sort of person; the creative man.” PeopleMenFirstsPersonsArtistStrongSexCreativeWifeCreationFieldsPoetDramaThirdsClaimsInstinctRateVitalityExclusiveCourtshipDeployment Author:Wyndham Lewis
