Quote by Bette Davis

Acting should be bigger than life. Scripts should be bigger than life. It should all be bigger than life.

Acting should be bigger than life. Scripts should be bigger

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that in the realm of acting and storytelling, everything should be exaggerated and larger than what we experience in real life. It suggests that performances, scripts, and narratives should transcend the ordinary and mundane, aiming to capture the audience's attention and imagination. By embracing this larger-than-life approach, actors and writers can create more captivating and memorable experiences that transport people away from reality.

Fair flower, that dost so comely grow, Hid in this silent, dull retreat,Untouched thy honied blossoms blow,Unseen thy little branches greet;...No roving foot shall crush thee here,...No busy hand provoke a tear.By Nature's self in white arrayed,She bade thee shun the vulgar eye,And planted here the gaurdian shade,And sent soft waters murmuring by;...Thus quietly thy summer goes,...Thy days declinging to repose.Smit with those charms, that must decay,I grieve to see your future doom;They died--nor were those flowers more gay,The flowers that did in Eden bloom;...Unpitying frosts, and Autumn's power...Shall leave no vestige of this flower.From morning suns and evenign dewsAt first thy little being came:If nothing once, you nothing lose,For when you die you are the same;...The space between, is but an hour,...The frail duration of a flower.

For it would seem - her case proved it - that we write, not with the fingers, but with the whole person. The nerve which controls the pen winds itself about every fibre of our being, threads the heart, pierces the liver.

I think of myself as a fairly attractive girl and always have, thanks to my mom. I was brought into this world thinking I was gorgeous because my mother was extremely devoted to this notion.
