Player Play

Famous quotes containing the words player and/or play:

    Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic; it is merely a form of emotional masturbation.... It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession. Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    This scene was supposed to be in a saloon, but the censor cut it out. It’ll play just as well.
    Otis Criblecoblis, U.S. screenwriter. W.C. Fields (W.C. Fields)
