“I was sort of trained in drama. I went to theater school. I started on the stage. Comedy is absolutely an essential part of what we do as actors. But I think in the grand scheme of things, comedy was born from tragedy. First there was tragedy and then there were the comedies.” ThinkingFirstsSchoolActorsBornComedyStageDramaEssentialsTragedyTheaterSchemes Author:Alex O'Loughlin
“The past is never dead. It's not even past. All of us labor in webs spun long before we were born, webs of heredity and environment, of desire and consequence, of history and eternity. Haunted by wrong turns and roads not taken, we pursue images perceived as new but whose providence dates to the dim dramas of childhood, which are themselves but ripples of consequence echoing down the generations. The quotidian demands of life distract from this resonance of images and events, but some of us feel it always.” FeelsLongPastDesireTurnsBornTakenEnvironmentGenerationsChildhoodEventsDramaDemandConsequenceLaborEternityPursueProvidenceRippleResonanceSpunHeredityWrong TurnRoad Not TakenHeredity And Environment Author:William Faulkner
“Of course, ministers look upon theaters as rival attractions, and most of their hatred is born of business views. They think people ought to be driven to church by having all other places closed. In my judgment the theater has done good, while the church has done harm. The drama never has insisted upon burning anybody. Persecution is not born of the stage.” PeopleThinkingLooksDoneCoursesBornChurchViewsStageOughtDramaJudgmentHatredTheaterHarmAttractionDrivenBurningMinistersLook UpPersecutionRivals Book:The Works of Robert G.

“My father went to college for drama in Pittsburgh, and so did my mother, and then my mother was a steadily working New York theater actress. They kind of quit when I was born.

“Apparently, before we are born, each of us experiences a vision of what our life can be, complete with reflections on our parents and our tendencies to engage in particular control dramas, even how we might work through these dramas with these parents and go on to be prepared for what we want to accomplish.” WantMightParentBornVisionOur LivesParticularGoes OnDramaReflectionPreparedAccomplishTendenciesBe PreparedCelestine Prophecy Book:The Tenth Insight Source: The Tenth Insight
