Genius

This quote comes from my friend Stuart, the actor.

What is the secret of poetry? What is the secret of music, painting,
or any of the other arts? You might as well ask me what is genius.
In my opinion acting is altogether due to soul. The man who feels,
who aspires, who wanders in thought from this world and mingles with
the higher intelligences has a soul that lends itself to artistic
effort; in short, he is a genius. He may be a poet, a painter or an
actor...
