“When we talk of commercialism, most of us think of the sort of photoplays that people are enthusiastic about, and it means to most of us that we are going to forget all about art.” — Edwin August in 1915
“There are no friends like the old friends after all. I honestly believe that success is the most severe test to man’s character and capabilities. Give many people praise, allow them to imagine they are the big fish in the pond and real ambition that urges hard study and constant endeavor to improve is lost.” — Edwin August in 1914
“Pantomimic ability is largely what counts in determining the success of a screen character. Unlike the stage, there is absolutely no chance to accentuate the part by the use of dialect or inflections of the voice.” — Edwin August in 1914
“Yes, I have played a great many roles, written a great many photoplays and directed scores. I am very fond of the psychological drama, and there is every chance in the world to the alert student to do fine shading, to point pointed morals. Yet I fear the romantic, the costume play appeals to me the greatest.” — Edwin August in 1914
