Be extraordinary!

"If you want a bourgeois existence, you shouldn't be an actor. You're in the wrong profession."

“More than in any other performing arts the lack of respect for acting seems to spring from the fact that every layman considers himself a valid critic.”

“We must overcome the notion that we must be regular... it robs you of the chance to be extraordinary and leads you to the mediocre.”

It's the centenary today of the estimable actress, drama teacher and author of the thespian "bible" Respect for Acting, Fraulein Uta Hagen.
