Summary

This quote seems to express a negative and biased view towards actors and actresses. It suggests that great actors are generally incapable of being good husbands, while great actresses are likened to the devil. It implies a stereotype that successful performers prioritize their careers over their personal relationships, particularly when it comes to marriage. However, it is important to remember that this statement is subjective and reflects a specific perspective, rather than being a universally accurate portrayal of all actors and actresses.
