Catherine RussellMany, many years ago my father wrote a little #book of maxims. Some are obvious, some I disagree with, some are pompous, and some are rather good. There are 8 chapters.
#actors spend a lot of time #unemployed!
CONDUCT. Page 1.

He had a real 🐝 in his 👒 about theft. Not entirely sure where that came from.

Sorry, rather dropped the ball with this thread. Back on it now. The last of CONDUCT. I like 24.
MANNERS. I strongly disagree with number 2. After all, isn’t #acting a #game entered into for fun? And what has it to do with manners? However, I strongly agree with number 6, though I might add confident. And the first sentence of number 7 is a sad truth. I wonder what my Dad would have made of #Twitter?!
MISTAKES. 1 and 4 seem to me to be the same. And I would add that mistakes are essential in any artistic endeavour, the #mistakes are where the #magic is.
And now onto the last and longest chapter, entitled GENERAL. I think I will toot them individually as some are really rather good.
“Anything, or anyone, can be ridiculed; but the good and the worthwhile are not invalidated by being laughed at.”
Which reminds me of this -
“There is no human being from whom another human being can learn nothing.”
Another #maxim from my Dad's little book.
"You cannot teach an ostrich to dive for minnows."
Sue Vickers-Thompson@CatherineRussell2 That sounds just like something straight out of Lewis Carroll!
