A Quote by Anton Chekhov
Anna Petrovna (to Shabelsky): You can't make a simple joke without an injection of venom. You are a poisonous man. Joking apart, Count, you're very poisonous. It's hideously boring to live with you. You're always grumpy, complaining, you find everyone bad, good for nothing. Tell me frankly, Count, did you ever speak well of anyone?

If, my dear, you seek to slumber;
Count of stars an endless number;

Count the times I do not tell you.

It`s always been the same for me. I`ve always enjoyed acting, and I really love good actors; they`re such unique characters. I wish I could tell stories well, or tell a joke.

Most actors have special talents that make them attractive, but they`re often odd characters.
