Martha Burns: Ellen Fanshaw
Quotes
-
Ellen Fanshaw : This is the life of an actress. You play the Ingénues, you play the Queens, you play the dreaded Nurse, then you retire to PAL. Then you sit there in the dining room eating rice pudding and hearing endless tales of life on the wicked stage. And you realize that you never really lived at all, you just pretended. Is that what you want?
Kate McNab : I can't believe you're saying this to me. I'm supposed to play Juliette
Ellen Fanshaw : You can play it, or you can live it. Your choice.
Kate McNab : Oh my God.
Ellen Fanshaw : Kate! You know me. I'm petty and bitter. There's a reason for that, ok? Don't make me spell it out. Just go! Go girl! Seek happy nights and happy days. See? I'm playing the Nurse already!
