The public sees only the thrill of the accomplished trick; they have no conception of the tortuous preliminary self-training that was necessary to conquer fear...

I always have on my mind the thought that next year I must do something greater, something more wonderful."

Lillian Gish // "What you get is a living, what you give is a life."
