Famous quotes containing the words completely, improvised and/or manner:
“When you model, the focus is completely on you, and some people really appreciate the attention, especially if they didn’t get it growing up. You’re being drawn; you’re being looked at. There’s a sense of acceptance that comes from that.”

“If melodrama is the quintessence of drama, farce is the quintessence of theatre. Melodrama is written. A moving image of the world is provided by a writer. Farce is acted. The writer’s contribution seems not only absorbed but translated.... One cannot imagine melodrama being improvised. The improvised drama was pre-eminently farce.”
—Eric Bentley (b. 1916)
“Carlyle must undoubtedly plead guilty to the charge of mannerism. He not only has his vein, but his peculiar manner of working it. He has a style which can be imitated, and sometimes is an imitator of himself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
