Who's not sat tense before his own heart's curtain.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Who has not sat before his own heart's curtain? It lifts: and the scenery is falling apart.
Once the curtain is raised, the actor is ceases to belong to himself. He belongs to his character, to his author, to his public. He must do the impossible to identify himself with the first, not to betray the second, and not to disappoint the third.
Tears may be dried up, but the heart - never.
It's always tense when you move a character from a book to the screen. Always tense.
I didn't like the play, but then I saw it under adverse conditions - the curtain was up.

The man who has no inner-life is a slave to his surroundings.
Where the mind is past hope, the heart is past shame.
