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.
Charlotte Cushman.

After acting for so many years, do you know who you are anymore? Because actors are liars basically, you lie about who you are to an audience.
