John Lahr Zitate

I was the first critic ever to win a Tony - for co-authoring 'Elaine Stritch at Liberty.' Criticism is a life without risk; the critic is risking his opinion, the maker is risking his life. It's a humbling thought but important for the critic to keep it in mind - a thought he can only know if he's made something himself.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich war der erste Kritiker, der jemals einen Tony gewann - für das Mitverfassen von 'Elaine Stritch at Liberty'. Kritik ist ein Leben ohne Risiko; Der Kritiker riskiert seine Meinung, der Macher riskiert sein Leben. Es ist ein demütigender Gedanke, aber wichtig für den Kritiker, um es im Hinterkopf zu behalten - ein Gedanke, den er nur wissen kann, wenn er selbst etwas gemacht hat.

Time is very precious to me. I don't know how much I have left and I have some things that I would like to say. Hopefully, at the end, I will have said something that will be important to other people too.

My father made with me one serious mistake which I see parents about me making. He got himself somehow into the awkward position of an authority; I thought he knew and was right on everything - for a while.

Lincoln Steffens

I thought it was terrible. I don't know who to believe. Williams was very loyal and honest. Nobody could ever say different. Sometimes, that got him into a lot of trouble. But after he died and they cut his head off, that made me sick.

Reasoning at every step he treads, Man yet mistakes his way, Whilst meaner things, whom instinct leads, Are rarely known to stray.

Michael Derrick Hudson is not the first person to slip into the identity of a person of color to give himself some perceived advantage. He can slip back into his life and not walk around in this world as a person of color who endures racism.

I don't know a single collector or museum director who says: 'Oh, he's on a list, so I think I'll buy something of his.' The people who buy my art put a little more thought into it than that.
