Drama Quotes

I went to comprehensive school in North London and left without any qualifications [diploma]. And I was doing bits of acting and improv in a drama club in the evenings. Then I discovered you didn’t need qualifications to go to art school, you just needed a body of work Picture Quote #1

Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody’s piano playing in my living room has on the book I am reading Picture Quote #1

I left drama school to do ‘The Book Thief’ - it was a real trip going straight from school kind of right into it, but I feel like the momentum of being in school put me in a good mindset as far as going into it as a learning experience Picture Quote #1

People who find that they have a lot of drama in their relationships need to allow themselves to get ‘bored’. At first, it will feel excruciating, and they may find themselves confronting a very real fear underneath all that drama: being truly close and therefore vulnerable to another human being Picture Quote #1

As a boy, I’d always had an interest in theater. But the idea at my school was that drama and music were to round out the man. It wasn’t what one did for a living. I got over that Picture Quote #1

The very rough story is this: Melbourne boy, out of both my parents’ houses at a young age, lived with my grandmother, drama teacher twisted me into doing this TV thing that I thought my mates were doing, too Picture Quote #1

For me, it’s all I’ve wanted to do. I did local plays and productions, local theater groups and anything that involved it. And then, I went and studied it, attended drama school and got my first lucky break in the theater in London, and just went from there Picture Quote #1

When I first left drama school, I was too posh for the working-class parts and not posh enough for the upper-class roles. You know what England is like: the gradations of accent and how you’re judged by them are still there. I discovered that to get a break you have to lie about where you’re from Picture Quote #1

I’m a big fan of unflinching drama and bold drama. If you shy away from dark subject matters, there’s only certain places for TV drama to go. If there are shows that can break through that and be brave, those are the shows that I personally enjoy watching. I try and do work that I would watch Picture Quote #1

I learned more doing ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ than I did during three years at drama school Picture Quote #1

I’ve lived this very dramatic life, with high points and terrible low points. Nothing has been ordinary, and I want to have the experience of the last breath. I want a little drama to it Picture Quote #1

I think the context of an hour-long drama gives breathing space that you don’t get in a film Picture Quote #1

Failures are much more dramatic than successes, and people like drama. I think this is why automobile races draw such crowds. People expect spectacular crashes, which we tend to find more interesting than cars just racing around the track. The same is true of bridges, buildings, or any structure or machine Picture Quote #1

I did tap dancing and stuff like that at drama school. I did ballet as well. My dance teacher and I didn’t necessarily get along all that well sometimes. She’s brilliant... but it’s just because I don’t like wearing tights that I put up a bit of a fight there, I think Picture Quote #1

I had a brilliant drama teacher while I was at Roland Park: Ann Mainolfi. But the school was mostly rich in academics. It wasn’t like I was prepping myself for a life in acting. There, you prepped yourself to have a stable future. The school’s piece de resistance is college prep - it didn’t teach you how to audition for a TV show Picture Quote #1

I confess I’ve got a yearning to go to Los Angeles, but I can’t work out if it is because a lot of British actors seem to go or because there’s this perception that the bottom has fallen out of British drama, so therefore, it’s the place to head for Picture Quote #1

Denmark as a country has always looked up to England. I’ve always felt that British actors are fantastic. There’s a strong theatre tradition in your country, and that is reflected in TV and film as well. We’ve always thought that for crime series, you were the masters, and the general feeling the Danes have of British drama is that it’s excellent Picture Quote #1

I think I’ve played a lesbian about five times. The first one was with Helen Baxendale in a drama called ‘The Investigator,’ about the conditions lesbians had to live under in the army in Britain, which was based on a true story Picture Quote #1

I received an OBE from the Queen, which probably doesn’t mean anything in America but is quite nice in England - the Order of the British Empire for services to drama Picture Quote #1

One thing about television in Britain is that they’re so scared about complaints. It curbs a lot of drama Picture Quote #1

I have six brothers and one sister, and I was an ice hockey player when I was younger. I think my dad thought I was going to be in the women’s league for ice hockey. But, I totally fell in love with drama in grade school, and I asked my mom if I could get involved with it Picture Quote #1

Growing up, I loved drama and fantasies. I hated the Marx Brothers. I took all that confusion seriously Picture Quote #1

I went to university in the north of England at University of Birmingham to do an English literature degree, and I knew I could do extracurricular stuff with theater and drama. I started a theater company, called Article 19, and I did it with a bunch of friends. I wrote and directed plays. I had a radio show Picture Quote #1

At the end of drama school, I made a contract with myself: I’d try acting for five years. I was 26. I had already spent eight years working in restaurants and gas stations. So I had seen enough small businesses to understand that that’s what acting is: a small business Picture Quote #1

As a restaurateur, my job is to basically control the chaos and the drama. There’s always going to be chaos in the restaurant business Picture Quote #1

Because ‘Call The Midwife’ is a gentle drama, not a documentary, it’s not appropriate to portray Sister Monica Joan’s condition in all its brutal reality Picture Quote #1

Hollyoaks’ is where I learnt a lot of the craft, being in front of a camera six days a week. That’s certainly an experience you don’t get in drama school. It invites you to be comfortable in front of the camera Picture Quote #1

If you’re doing a drama that has some comedic elements you can’t forget that it’s primarily a very serious film that has some light relief Picture Quote #1

People are fascinated, for whatever reason, by human drama, and the idea that cameras are capturing ambient stories Picture Quote #1

A car crash harnesses elements of eroticism, aggression, desire, speed, drama, kinesthetic factors, the stylizing of motion, consumer goods, status -- all these in one event. I myself see the car crash as a tremendous sexual event really: a liberation of human and machine libido (if there is such a thing) Picture Quote #1
