With COMEDY it's all about TIMING and presence on screen, as the words are there but you have to SAY them right and the right timing.

Most CONVERSATIONS are SIMPLY monologues delivered in the PRESENCE of a WITNESS.

Let there be nothing WITHIN THEE that is not very beautiful and very gentle, and there will be nothing WITHOUT thee that is not beautiful and softened by the SPELL of THY presence.

To the truly BENEVOLENT MIND, indeed, NOTHING is more satisfactory than to hear of a miser denying himself the necessaries of life a little too far and ridding US of his presence altogether.

It's one of the THINGS about being a PERSON with a PUBLIC presence, to get to lend your name to a WORTHY cause.

There are days when my heart is TROUBLED, and just being in the Lord's presence and thinking about His LOVE for me fills my heart with inexplicable PEACE and JOY.

In PRESENCE of NATURE's GRAND convulsions, MAN is POWERLESS.
