“Since I am never alone with myself. Since I am always watching the character playing my part in the scene, there is no possibility of spontaneity.”

“We start out in these things from the same places, the fast and the slow. We pass along the same stages: excitement, enchantment, dispute, anger, reconciliation, love. And the end of love. We pass these same stages, unevenly paced, until at last, everything exhausted, we arrive at a place marked I just don't care anymore.”
