When David Garrick's theatre burned to the ground and people advised him not to get to close to the conflagration, he said " Can't a man warm his backside by his own fireside?"

That's excellent; I'd never heard that one before.

One poet said I warm both hands before the fire: it sinks and I am ready to depart. Garrick turned his back on his fire and he was ready to leave the theatre

It will always be the roar of the grease paint and the smell of the crowd. Good Observation BTW.
