Best drama/performing quote?

Choose one, or add your own:

The drama of life is best displayed on stage.

It is there, and only there, we can relax and enjoy the show.

Theater is in my blood. It moves me. It thrills me.

I am never more alive, than when I am pretending.

Acting is for everyone. We all play our parts, everyday.

But on stage, people applaud when you do it well.

If the play is good, the actors receive all the credit.

And when it is bad, everyone knows it was the director鈥檚 fault.

One line, or a thousand, it does not matter,

say the words so they will be remembered forever.

The stage is a place where spirits soar,

and hearts and minds are set free.

Some will say, it is only entertainment, but it is much more.

It is truth, brought to life, by those who care what is true.

Make your entrances and exits grand,

people seldom remember the rest.

Sing as if generations later, they will dust off a recording

of your voice to learn what life and love are鈥nd can be.
