About This Quote
"If I have played my part well, clap your hands, and dismiss me with applause from the stage." This quote explains that you are no one's hero or heroess. You are simply a performer on the stage. If you have done what was asked of you, then put on your hat and go back to your life. Don't become stuck in your role as everyone's favorite actor/actress.
