I have the absolute utmost respect for soap opera actors now. They work harder than any actor I know in any other medium. And they don't get very much approbation for it.
I have no other view than to promote the public good and am unambitious of honors not founded in the approbation of my Country.
The chief difference between words and deeds is that words are always intended for men for their approbation but deeds can be done only for God.
Thanks to capitalism the importance placed on beauty has never been so manipulated. We are the guinea pigs force-fed ads that tell us how pathetic we are: that we will never be loved happy or valuable unless we have the body the face the hair even the personality that will apparently be ours if only we buy their products.
