“The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing.”

“Actors are so fortunate. They can choose whether they will appear in tragedy or in comedy, whether they will suffer or make merry, laugh or shed tears. But in real life it is different.

The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.”

“Nobody comes here anymore, its too crowded”
