Lynn Fontanne Quotations

We can be bought, but we cant be bored.

One reason we lasted so long is that we usually played two people who were very much in love. As we were realistic actors, we became those two people. So we had a divertissement: I had an affair with him, and he with me.

I lied to everybody. I lie very well, being an actress, naturally.

When I am on a stage, I am the focus of thousands of eyes and it gives me strength. I feel that something, some energy, is flowing from the audience into me. I actually feel stronger because of these waves.

Warm the pot first, please, then put two heaping teaspoonfuls in the pot-no bags-in boiling water, and when it's in, stir it. And when it comes here, I will stir it again.

Telling a butler how to make good tea; Warm the pot first, please, then put two heaping teaspoonfuls in the pot no bags in boiling water, and when it's in, stir it. And when it comes here, I will stir it again.
