“I stopped acting when I was about nineteen, twenty, when I got thrown out of college. I did act for about ten years. I don't know. I suspect I'm still a reasonably good actor, but I don't really know that I want to get on the stage again ... and having to say all those boring words by me over and over again ... I don't know if I want to do that. Also, I like a certain amount of freedom of movement, and if you're acting, you're stuck in one place for a long time. Having said that, I will probably be onstage next fall.” IfsKnowsWantYearsLongSaidStillsCertainFallNextActorsActingStageMovementCollegeAmountTenLong TimeTwentiesBoringStuckThrownSuspectsGood ActorsNineteen Book:Stretching My Mind: The Collected Essays of Edward Albee Source: Stretching My Mind: The Collected Essays of Edward Albee

“I went door-to-door selling cable television subscriptions when I was in college. I found it incredibly difficult, doing that kind of sales work.
