“You can't be boring. Life is boring. The weather is boring. Actors must not be boring.”

Stella Adler (1901–1992) American actress and teaching coach

Obituary in New York Times

“I think it's possible to be too quick-witted, too smart to be an actor. You have to turn off a lot of your brain, in a way. When you see a fellow actor just missing it, it's hard to keep your mouth shut, but you have to. Or see a director so stupid he couldn't direct vomit into a paper bag. And he's in charge, and it's really hard to keep your mouth shut.”

Famous quotes

“A conception of control is simultaneously a worldview that allows actors to interpret the actions of others and a reflection of how the market is structured.”

Neil Fligstein (1951) American sociologist

Source: Markets as politics: A political-cultural approach to market institutions, 1996, p. 658
Context: Conceptions of control refer to understandings that structure perceptions of how a market works and that allow actors to interpret their world and act to control situations. A conception of control is simultaneously a worldview that allows actors to interpret the actions of others and a reflection of how the market is structured. Conceptions of control reflect market-specific agreements between actors in firms on principles of internal organization (i. e., forms of hierarchy), tactics for competition or cooperation, and the hierarchy or status ordering of firms in a given market. The state must ratify, help to create, or at the very least, not oppose a conception of control.

“You can't drive a flock of sheep to market in a dead straight line, but there are ways of getting 'em there.”
