More quotes by Ethel Barrymore
You grow up the day you have the first real laugh at yourself.
Ethel Barrymore
Fundamentally I feel that there is as much difference between the stage and the films as between a piano and a violin. Normally you can't become a virtuoso in both.
Ethel Barrymore
You must learn, day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizon.
Ethel Barrymore
[on Hollywood] It looks, it feels, as though it had been invented by a Sixth Avenue peepshow man.
Ethel Barrymore
The arts are not just instantaneous pleasure - if you don't like it, the artist is wrong. I belong to the generation which says if you don't like it, you don't understand and you ought to find out.
Ethel Barrymore
The great actors are the luminous ones. They are the great conductors of the stage.
Ethel Barrymore
Is everybody happy? I want everybody to be happy. I know I'm happy.
Ethel Barrymore
