I love my work and am happy when I’m filling a role that I feel will be well received by audiences that are coming more and more to appreciate good work among the silent actors.”  Laura Sawyer in 1913

“The abnormal woman, either on or off the stage, is to me an abomination, and I can find no real pleasure in depicting these, though in my four years before the camera I have often been compelled to do so.” — Laura Sawyer in 1913
