“Joey Albert: The hardest part was not being able to be emotional at all, and yet feeling all these great losses.”

“There is a common emotion we all recognize and have not yet named—the happy anticipation of being able to feel contempt.”

“The hardest part is being brave so that nobody knows that you are sad all the time.”

“Writing is an expression of the writer's own peculiar personality, could not help being so. Yet in reading great works one feels that the finished piece transcends the personal. All writers great and small must sometimes have felt that they have become part of what they wrote even more than it still remains a part of them.”

“It is the hardest thing of all, the one thing that will show if you have the one true courage. To know that you have failed, that your best efforts have been defeated, to not be able to stand it, to not be able to go on and yet to go on nonetheless.”

“Acting is not being emotional, but being able to express emotion. ”
