Acting Quote by Adrian Lester
“Sometimes what you turn out may be just a performance, but sometimes what you create will change the way people think about a play, character or situation for the rest of their lives. We don't have to be happy about it - we just have to do it well. That's why acting is not a trade; it's a vocation.”
