Drama Quotes

The guys on ‘Game of Thrones’ trust me implicitly to take care of the action stuff. I don’t mess with their drama, but they allow me to come up with ideas like ‘Hey, what if the giant had a bow? And what if he shot some guy off the wall?’ With ‘Constantine,’ too, they really trust me to scare the audience Picture Quote #1

In my last year of drama school, I was Abigail in ‘The Crucible’ and Nina in ‘The Seagull,’ and I did some Shakespeare with the RSC. That’s what casting directors saw me in, and I got put up for a lot of period drama auditions. I always get told I suit the costumes. I don’t think I have a very modern-looking face Picture Quote #1

If everyone’s just saying what they feel and doing whatever they want, there’s no drama in the world. And there’s also no truth to it, ‘cause that’s just not the truth Picture Quote #1

My father Bill had a problem with Christmas. Although he appears in old photographs to possess a whippy, muscular frame, he was actually a frail man and usually managed to cause some kind of drama just before the festivities began Picture Quote #1

Violent drama has been a hallmark of every great civilization. It is not the cause of the disease - it is an immunizing factor. People go to the theater to experience emotions like fear and loathing. Violent drama shows us where we come from. It makes us face our hypocrisy Picture Quote #1

Every civilization sees itself as the center of the world and writes its history as the central drama of human history Picture Quote #1

I feel that the real drama of life is never center stage, it’s always in the wings. It’s never with the spotlight on, it’s usually something that you don’t expect at all Picture Quote #1

I love doing comedy, and I don’t get a chance to much. I get to play lots of serious people, and killers, and people with a lot of... sheriffs. Good people and bad people, but lots of drama, and to get a chance to be genuinely silly is a great treat for me Picture Quote #1

Comedy’s my first love. I love that so much. You play comedy in drama, too. The difference between genres doesn’t really change the method of acting Picture Quote #1

When you’re making a TV drama, the showrunner is God, and so however onerous and difficult and consuming that responsibility is, you’re being treated with respect, so it changes your whole outlook to the production. You’re being asked about costumes, set design, music, every aspect of the show Picture Quote #1

When I was at drama school, I wanted to change the world, and thought I had some great wisdom to impart to people about humanity. Now that I’m older, I know enough to realise that I know nothing at all Picture Quote #1

The quality of my life has changed dramatically - not the events - but the way I handle them and my priorities and my sense of drama Picture Quote #1

When I play a game, I want to play, not necessarily laugh. If you try to make me laugh at the expense of interactivity, then you’ve just created another funny game that isn’t very fun. The videogame medium itself is a terrible place for complicated humor, drama, and character development Picture Quote #1

My hopes and aspirations haven’t changed since I started in this business. They’ve been to be able to play drama, to be able to play comedy, to be able to play leading men, and to be able to play character roles. I have no other aspirations in this regard Picture Quote #1

When you see Charlie Chaplin, he stays funny. He doesn’t become drama, and so what really seems to endure is comedy Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to compare myself to him - I don’t want people to see me as this great genius - but when I see Charlie Chaplin’s movies there is a combination of drama, naivety and social meaning that I can see in myself, at a different level Picture Quote #1

Crime is interesting. It’s huge and fascinating, and it’s what my business, TV and film, is largely based on. But the realities are tragic, and in crime drama you rarely see the pain of bereavement or any consequences. It’s reduced to a chess game Picture Quote #1

My childhood has never lost its mystery, and it has never lost its drama Picture Quote #1

Where typically the cops are generally the good guys, ‘The Red Road’ blurs the lines intelligently and shows corruption from all sides of the law. It provides unpredictable drama where the audience is kept guessing about how these characters will each choose to act Picture Quote #1

You know how you’re supposed to choose between playing up your eyes or your lips? I always choose lips. I love the drama Picture Quote #1

Starting my career in London was no accident because the city and the industry here are all about theatre and drama, and I respond well to that Picture Quote #1

The best job was when I was at drama school and I cleaned flats in the Barbican. I loved it. They were spotless anyway, so you’d just watch the telly and flick a duster around Picture Quote #1

I think humor is like a shield that lets you get as close to the sad sad flame as possible - far closer, oftentimes, than drama Picture Quote #1

My dad didn’t want me to go for drama in school, so I chose the closest thing to it and got a bachelors degree in Communications at the Manhattan College Picture Quote #1

Fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But very little. After all, if you have a serious drama, who cares about the clothes? Picture Quote #1

I got into the Shanghai Drama Institute because my parents, like all parents, want their children to have good grades and to go to a good college. I became a college student because of them Picture Quote #1

I put so much pressure on myself to be perfect. Between homework and sports and drama and being social, I slept about four hours a night through high school and college Picture Quote #1

I was at college studying psychology, philosophy, textiles and drama. But because I wasn’t one of those all-singing, all-dancing stage-school kids, I just assumed I’d never become an actor Picture Quote #1

I went to the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, which was great but very different from a typical university. They sat us down in the first week and said: if you want to party, you’ve come to the wrong place. There was no lie-ins or skipping lectures Picture Quote #1
