"Life in the theatre isn't necessarily when you get money from performing. It isn't when you sign a contract. It isn't even when you are in a play. It's when you understand it. If you understand it, you'll know why you want to act."

-- Stella Adler

“My name is Cassie Palmer and Iâ€™ve cheated death more times than anyone has a right to expect. In the last two months, Iâ€™ve been shot, stabbed, beaten and blown up a few dozen times, and that doesnâ€™t count all the magical ways Iâ€™ve almost been killed. Iâ€™d have been dead a long time ago if not for my friends, one of whom had just jumped off the cliff after me. Iâ€™d have been a lot more appreciative if he hadnâ€™t pushed me first.”
