Love Quote by Fay Wray

Enthusiasm, in Fay Wray's telling, isn't bubbly optimism; it's a survival strategy disguised as a personality trait. "The secret" frames her advice like tradecraft, the kind you earn by staying employable in an industry that treats women as interchangeable types until it suddenly doesn’t. The repetition of "to care, to care" reads less like a platitude than a deliberate insistence: caring is an action, a discipline, not a mood. It’s also a quiet rebuttal to the classic show-business pose of cool detachment. Wray is arguing that attention is power.

The phrasing "everything that comes into your life" hints at a worldview shaped by unpredictability. For an actress whose fame is tethered to King Kong - a role that could have trapped her in a single scream - the idea of being "excited about everything that comes close to you" carries an almost defensive openness. It’s a way to stay porous without being consumed. Notice how she shifts from people to practices: "I love to read. And I love to write, mostly". That "mostly" is doing sly work. It suggests the real center of gravity isn't the camera; it's interior life. Reading and writing are portable forms of agency, not dependent on casting, youth, or the next studio mood swing.

The intent, then, is less motivational than autobiographical: a woman who lived through Hollywood’s loud eras and quiet dismissals offering a blueprint for staying awake. Enthusiasm becomes a refusal to go numb, and literacy becomes the private room behind the public face.
