Summary

This quote humorously suggests that the notion of a "serious actor" is contradictory in nature, much like other phrases such as "Republican party" or "airplane food" that often provoke skepticism or irony. It implies a perception that actors might not always be associated with seriousness or depth, possibly due to stereotypes or perceptions of the industry. The quote uses playful irony to question the credibility of the concept of a "serious actor" in a lighthearted manner.

I enjoy talking to you more than anybody else because I never feel I am giving myself away and so can admit to shady, dishonest, crawling, cowardly, unjust, arrogant, snobbish, lecherous, perverted and generally shameful feelings that I don't want anybody else to know about; but most of all because I am always on the verge of violent laughter when talking to you.If you were here, I keep thinking, we would spend the time in talk and drink and smoke and I should be laughing a lot of the time, and I should be enjoying myself a lot of the time.
