Dramatic Quotes

Probably the most dramatic change in pitching I’ve observed in my years in baseball has been the disappearance of the knockdown or brushback pitch. This is why record numbers of home runs are flying out of ballparks, why earned run averages are soaring, and why there are so few twenty game winners in the majors Picture Quote #1

I used to feel this need to prove to people that I can do something dramatic. But, the truth is that I don’t know if I can. I don’t think I have it in my skill set. It would be great, but I do love making comedies. It’s been so much fun for me, and I hope that I can continue to do it Picture Quote #1

The scary thing is a dramatic erosion of American position in the world - its economic, military position, as well as America’s influence. Obama is not the man at the wheel desperately trying to conserve American power, influence and wealth. For ideological reasons, he wants the slipping to continue. He’s actually the architect of it Picture Quote #1

At the heart of any successful film is a powerful story. And a story should be just that: a narrative with a beginning, middle, and end, powerful protagonists that audiences can identify with, and a dramatic arc that is able to capture and hold viewers’ intellectual and emotional attention Picture Quote #1

The really cool challenge of 24’ was learning on camera how to be a dramatic actress. The biggest difficulty was the industry side of things. I was very lucky that I had Joel Surnow, one of the creators of 24,’ in my corner. Early on, the Fox executives couldn’t believe that I was on the show Picture Quote #1

There is a severe horse overpopulation crisis caused by overbreeding in the racing industry. It’s time for that industry to accept responsibility for its castoffs and take dramatic action to protect a species that has so loyally served humankind Picture Quote #1

I understood when I was quite small that there were two special things about the Jews. That we’d endured for over 3,000 years despite everything that had been thrown at us, and that we had an extraordinarily dramatic story to tell Picture Quote #1

When I get up in the morning, I go and I work with beautiful women and charming men and funny comedians and dramatic artists. And I’m presented with costumes and great music to choose from and sets. I travel a certain amount of places, so I’ve been living in a bubble. And I like it Picture Quote #1

Theatre aside, my penchant for the extended monologue began with my reading of Browning’s dramatic monologues, in high school. My inclination to adopt the form for prose was confirmed by Richard Howard’s book of dramatic monologues, Untitled Subjects Picture Quote #1

As a practical matter, I like the dramatic monologue for its compelling intimacy. To be inside one’s character, to register his or her every vagrant thought, emotion, and response - the first-person viewpoint grants this privilege and immediacy Picture Quote #1

We must develop huge demonstrations, because the world is used to big dramatic affairs. They think in terms of hundreds of thousands and millions and billions... Billions of dollars are appropriated at the twinkling of an eye. Nothing little counts Picture Quote #1

The more you’re able to understand how to do a good dramatic performance, that can inform your comedy. It all informs one another. And it keeps everything interesting Picture Quote #1

Abstract art is only painting. And what’s so dramatic about that? There is no abstract art. One must always begin with something. Afterwards one can remove all semblance of reality; there is no longer any danger as the idea of the object has left an indelible imprint Picture Quote #1

My four years in Russia end, then, in dramatic fashion: with a textbook Soviet-style expulsion. I am the first western staff correspondent to suffer this fate since the end of the Cold War. I’m stunned. But my expulsion is not, I reflect, a surprise. It’s something I have always accepted as a real, if far-fetched, possibility Picture Quote #1

Like any other person who reads a ton of books, I hate many, many books. Oh, how I hate them. I have performed dramatic readings of the books I hate. I have little hate summaries. I have hate impressions. I can act out, scene by hateful scene, some of these books. I can perform silent hate charades Picture Quote #1

I just happen to like the action-adventure movies. No law that says you can’t work in all types of dramatic stuff Picture Quote #1

I’ve wanted to follow my dad into acting for as long as I can remember. ‘I’ve had a very serious round of dramatic training, and I like action films that take their characters seriously, so I figure I’m making it the best of both worlds if I try to bring some serious acting to a shoot-‘em-up picture Picture Quote #1

When I do an action thing, it speaks louder than the things that I’ve done that are dramatic and comedy. Actually, if you look at my resume, I have just as much comedic things as dramas, and I have far less action things than all of the other things, but I’m kind of defined as an action person Picture Quote #1

I tend to think in dramatic terms. In life, there may be an actual drama, but it would be the fictionalized, imagined drama that engaged me Picture Quote #1

When I was in my 20s, I wanted to go after dramatic roles, and I didn’t have a tremendous amount of success with that Picture Quote #1

As much as I loved [Al] Pacino and [Robert] De Niro and wanted to be a dramatic actor, I also grew up on sitcoms Picture Quote #1

Dad was an amazing storyteller and illustrator, which he did in his spare time - very inspiring and dramatic Picture Quote #1

I was chomping at the bit to get my career started - so after I took all the theater courses at Brooklyn College I enrolled in a two year program at AMDA in the city (The American Musical Dramatic Academy) I was there for 6 months and loved it Picture Quote #1

I was married to a law student, and I used to attend classes with him at Georgetown University Law Center. Being of dramatic bent, I was drawn mainly to Criminal law and Evidence classes. A just-beginning writer, I would find an empty chair and listen, mesmerized, to the lectures Picture Quote #1

I like dramatic ballets, particularly if they’re ballets in which I have a chance to go from one extreme of style or characterization to another Picture Quote #1

I do like any kind of project that has both comedy and drama in it because in life you don’t have one day where everything is funny then the next day everything is dramatic Picture Quote #1

I don’t steer towards anything. I steer towards character and truth. If it’s funny then so be it. If it’s dramatic, so be it. I just steer towards characters Picture Quote #1

I don’t have anything that dramatic as far as a performance goes. I’ve never participated in a show that ended in a fight in my memory Picture Quote #1

I’m developing some other things in other genres, including one dramatic piece. So, anything’s possible Picture Quote #1

I think all art comes out of conflict. When I write I am always looking for the dramatic kernel of an event, the junctures of people’s lives when they go in one direction, not another Picture Quote #1
