Certainly a curtain has never fallen too soon for me. Every play is too long, even the short ones. Every concert, every film, every television programme the same.

Who has not sat before his own heart's curtain? It lifts: and the scenery is falling apart.

Sustained exhaustion is not a rite of passage. It's a mark of stupidity.

Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.

Fatigue makes cowards of us all.

Fatigue is what we experience, but it is what a match is to an atomic bomb.

You look at anything I've been a part of, it's when the laboring, the fatigue, when some of those things happen, that's what shows what you're going to be.

Everybody goes through a phase of fatigue, and I am no different. Re-inventing yourself in your profession is the key to deal with fatigue.

As a necessary prerequisite to the creation of new forms of expression one might, I suppose, argue that current sensibilities respond uniquely to the notion of exhaustion as exhaustion, although that does de facto seem rather limiting.

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
