The Theatre Is The Involuntary Reflex Of

The Artist's Personality Must Be Left In His Dressing-room; His Soul Must Be Denuded Of Its Own Sensations And Clothed With The Base Or Noble Qualities He Is Called Upon To Exhibit.... [he] Must Leave Behind Him The Cares And Vexations Of Life, Throw Aside His Personality For Several Hours, And Move In The Dream Of Another Life, Forgetting Everything.

Legend Remains Victorious In Spite Of History.

You Must Have This Charm To Reach The Pinnacle. It Is Made Of Everything And Of Nothing, The Striving Will, The Look, The Walk, The Proportions Of The Body, The Sound Of The Voice, The Ease Of The Gestures. It Is Not At All Necessary To Be Handsome Or To Be Pretty; All That Is Needful Is Charm.

One Should Hate Very Little, Because It's Extremely Fatiguing. One Should Despise Much, Forgive Often And Never Forget. Pardon Does Not Bring With It Forgetfulness; At Least Not For Me.

Me Pray? Never! I'm An Atheist.
