Doing a play is good for me because it`s a nice change from being on a movie set. I try to do a play every year because it just invigorates me.
- Philip Seymour Hoffman(Performing live) invigorates you, but life on the road wears you down. The frequencies hitting your ears and the volume can tire you, but you`re so elated onstage you don`t notice it. The next morning you implode. You do five gigs in a row, have a day off, then seven in a row, day off -- it`s a strange kind of torture. You love it, but it destroys you.
- Lisa GerrardWhereas wine disorders the mental faculties, opium introduces amongst them the most exquisite order, legislation and harmony. Wine robs a man of self-possession; opium greatly invigorates it.
- Thomas De Quincey
