• Man is a make-believe animal—he is never so truly himself as when he is acting a part. — William Hazlitt
• An actor is a sculptor who carves in snow. — Lawrence Barrett
• All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances and one man in his time plays many parts. — William Shakespeare
• Never meddle with play actors, for they're a favored race. — Miguel de Cervantes
• If a gun is hanging on the wall in the first act, it must fire in the last. — Anton Chekhov
• Drama is action, sir, action and not confounded philosophy. — Luigi Pirandello
• Dying is easy. Comedy is hard. — Edmund Kean [when he was dying, Kean said this in answer to his son's question "Is it difficult for you, father?"]
