Famous quotes containing the words choice and/or actor:
“If we pretend to respect the artist at all, we must allow him his freedom of choice, in the face, in particular cases, of innumerable presumptions that the choice will not fructify. Art derives a considerable part of its beneficial exercise from flying in the face of presumptions.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“I have often seen an actor laugh off the stage, but I don’t remember ever having seen one weep.”
