Quotes by Midge Raymond (?)

“That little rat was pretending to be sick. He was acting so he could get himself out of my room. And that’s when I realized that acting isn’t just something you do in theatres or sound stages—it’s about survival. It’s about getting through your own damn life. I think maybe the most successful people in life are simply the best”
