You can reveal yourself on stage in a way that you can't on TV. If you drop a character on TV, it's death. Each character has to be ruthlessly, faultlessly played. But live, you can hint at what's going on behind. You can let the audience in a bit and go off the script.

English Comedian

American Actress

Robert Frost

The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended-and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended.

American Poet

John Greenleaf Whittier

It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done.

Look at surrounding words to understand the kind of hint being given; it often points to a solution.
