“If, as an actor, you allow yourself to be cocooned from the boring pin-pricks of day-to-day existence - like standing in a queue at the butcher's or any of the other dreary little events that we all have in our daily lives - you begin to lose your lifeline to what people are. And if you lose that, you eventually lose the ability to act.” PeopleIfsLittlesActorsLosesAbilityExistenceEventsStandingBoringDaily LifeDay To DayPinsDrearyButchersQueuesLifelines Author:Glenda Jackson
