Acting (Screen and Digital)

I think I love and reverence all arts equally, only putting my own just above the others; because in it I recognize the union and culmination of my own. To me it seems as if when God conceived the world, that was Poetry; He formed it, and that was Sculpture; He colored it, and that was Painting; He peopled it with living beings, and that was the grand, divine, eternal Drama.

On the stage he was natural, simple, affecting,'Twas only that when he was off, he was acting.

See, how these rascals use me! They will not let my play run; and yet they steal my thunder.
