Quote by Lee Grant
People break down after a couple of hours. All the defenses go down, and there's a kind of communication that if I spent 20 years in a living room with one of these people, I would never, never know as much about them as I do in that one day.
Summary
This quote suggests that people often reveal their true selves and open up more emotionally in intense or vulnerable situations. It implies that extended periods of time spent with someone may not necessarily provide the same depth of understanding as a single day of closely interacting with them under circumstances where their defenses are lowered. Additionally, it highlights the power of genuine and authentic communication that can occur when barriers are broken down, leading to a level of connection that surpasses the knowledge gained from a longer period of casual interaction.
