QUOTES
"Acting is illusion, as much
illusion as magic is, and not so much a matter of being
real." -- Sir Laurence
Olivier
"If I wasn't an actor, I think I'd have gone mad.
You have to have extra voltage, some extra temperament
to reach certain heights. Art is a little bit larger
than life- it's an exhalation of life and I think I
you probably need a little touch of madness." --
Sir Laurence Olivier
"Work is life for me, it is the only point of life-and
with it there is almost religious belief that service
is everything." -- Sir
Laurence Olivier
