Performing Arts (Acting)

The principal benefit acting has afforded me is the money to pay for my psychoanalysis.

I think I love and reverence all arts equally, only putting my own just above the others; because in it I recognize the union and culmination of my own. To me it seems as if when God conceived the world, that was Poetry; He formed it, and that was Sculpture; He colored it, and that was Painting; He peopled it with living beings, and that was the grand, divine, eternal Drama.

On the stage he was natural, simple, affecting,'Twas only that when he was off, he was acting.
