Leslie Howard

I can't think of anything more exciting than trying to be an actor.

The truth is that to enjoy acting one must be an exhibitionist at heart, one must revel in those exposures of the emotions which would be agonizing to a shy or reserved person. All the great actors have been and are exhibitionists.

What the actor is in private life, he is to a large extent on the stage, because he cannot conceal himself and his true personality from his audience.
