Quote by Mercedes McCambridge
I'd never been in play long enough for the flowers to die in the dressing room.

Summary
This quote suggests that the speaker has never been a part of a theatrical production for an extended period of time. The reference to flowers dying in the dressing room implies that the speaker's past experiences in plays have been short-lived or ephemeral. The quote highlights the fleeting nature of their involvement in theatrical performances, suggesting a lack of permanence and suggesting that they have not experienced the ongoing success or longevity that would result in flowers wilting over time.
