The secret of acting is sincerity. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.

George Burns1896–1996

If there’s anything unsettling to the stomach, it’s watching actors on television talk about their personal lives.

To grasp the full significance of life is the actor’s duty, to interpret it is his problem and to express it his dedication.
