Elizabeth Ashley’s 5 most popular quotes
- The only thing I like about being an actress is acting.
- All the things that are negative in me as a person – the incompetence and despair and weakness and pain – are like a gift from God in a performer. If you don’t hide them and if you stop lying to yourself about what you are and are not, there is a ring or a tent or a stage where you can take them and use them to make something beautiful.
- drama is made up of what people most fear and deny in themselves. The taboos. The secrets. The devils and the demons. The only reason they let us live, I suppose, is because somebody has to confront what those things are like and tell other people about them.
- Absence does not make the heart grow fonder, but it sure heats up the blood.
- People pay all that money to sit in a chair in the theater mainly because it is a respectable way to see and experience things they cannot see and experience in their own lives.
