“When you're starting out as an actor, you keep raising the stakes. First, you just want to be a character who comes on stage and gets a laugh or two and exits. Just five minutes on a stage, not even Broadway. But every time you say your little prayer at night, you place more demands.” WantFirstsLittlesTwoCharacterNightActorsPrayerLaughingFiveMinutesStageDemandStartingStakesBroadwayFive MinutesExitStarting Out Author:Charles Kimbrough
“I would say my being disheartened has more to do with American culture than anything else. We are becoming a very shallow culture. My goodness, the celebrity ethos has taken over completely. Turn on the television and you see that over and over. There's very little substance. And so, everything gets shorter. Everything is entertainment oriented. Our churches reflect that. A thirty-five minute sermon without a Power Point or video clips is rare these days. That's not true in other countries so much.” LittlesCountryTurnsCultureChurchTakenFiveMinutesTelevisionBecomingGoodnessEntertainmentVideoThese DaysSubstanceThirtyOther CountriesShallowSermonsFive MinutesAmerican CultureTurn-onEthosClipDisheartenedVideo Clips Author:Philip Yancey
