“Acting is not a genteel profession. Actors used to be buried at a crossroads with a stake through the heart. Those people's performances so troubled the onlookers that they feared their ghosts. An awesome compliment. Those players moved the audience not such that they were admitted to a school, or received a complimentary review, but such that the audience feared for their soul. Now that seems to me something to aim for.” PeopleHeartSoulSeemsSchoolUsedActorsActingAudiencePlayerPerformancesAimMovedProfessionGhostUsed To BeReviewsComplimentBuriedStakesCrossroads Author:David Mamet
