I was saying that the Theater is nine -tenths hard work. Work done the hard way - by sweat, application and craftsmanship. I’ll agree to this - that to be a good actor, actress, or anything else in the Theater, means wanting to be that more than anything else in the world…
It means concentration of ambition, desire, and sacrifice such as no other profession demands… And I’ll agree that the man or woman who accepts those terms can’t be ordinary, can’t be - just someone. To give so much for almost always so little…”
“So little. So little, did you say? Why, if there’s nothing else - there’s applause. It’s like - like waves of love coming over the footlights and wrapping you up. Imagine…To know, every night, that
different hundreds of people love you… they smile, their eyes shine - you’ve pleased them, they want you, you belong. Just that alone is worth anything…”
