King Lear Quotes

I think you have to find the humanity in the character and then the deterioration is a part of the process - the journey of the character. It’s like playing King Lear. You can start off as a nice old man who finishes up crazy Picture Quote #1

People talk about the difference between radio acting, TV acting and stage acting, but I think it’s all the same. For instance, when I played Vultan in ‘Flash Gordon,’ I put as much energy into it as I would with ‘King Lear’ - it’s all part of the same thing Picture Quote #1

If I had written King Lear, I would regret it all my life afterwards. Because that work is so big, that its defects show as huge, its monstrous defects, things even minimal in between some scenes and their possible perfection. It’s not the sun with spots; it’s a broken greek statue Picture Quote #1

Counterfeit Kings is the King Lear of space operas. Science fiction has a fresh, new, no-nonsense voice and his name is Adam Connell Picture Quote #1

I think Shakespeare got drunk after he finished King Lear. That he had a ball writing it Picture Quote #1

O, let me kiss that hand! KING LEAR: Let me wipe it first; it smells of mortality Picture Quote #1

There isn’t a King Lear for women, or a Henry V, or a Richard III. You reach a level where you can handle that stuff technically and mentally, and it’s not there Picture Quote #1

I guess if they ever do a remake of ‘Sophie’s Choice,’ I could play the Meryl Streep part. I’ve got to work on my Polish accent. Maybe I’ll be the definitive King Lear one day. You know, if they ever feel that King Lear should be more Jewy Picture Quote #1

It’s difficult for most people to imagine the creative process in tennis. Seemingly it’s just an athletic matter of hitting the ball consistently well within the boundaries of the court. That analysis is just as specious as thinking that the difficulty in portraying King Lear on stage is learning all the lines Picture Quote #1

I have three daughters and I find as a result I played King Lear almost without rehearsal Picture Quote #1

As I get older and I get a few more years experience I become more like Dad, you know, King Lear Picture Quote #1

Do not be guilty of possessing a library of learned books while lacking learning yourself Picture Quote #1

To watch King Lear is to approach the recognition that there is indeed no meaning in life, and that there are limits to human understanding Picture Quote #1

King Lear alone among these plays has a distinct double action. Besides this, it is impossible, I think, from the point of view of construction, to regard the hero as the leading figure Picture Quote #1

The actor is too prone to exaggerate his powers; he wants to play Hamlet when his appearance is more suitable to King Lear Picture Quote #1

I have no desire to play King Lear or Hamlet. I never had a grand ambition. I just followed my nose Picture Quote #1

Hegel seems to me to be always wanting to say that things which look different are really the same. Whereas my interest is in showing that things which look the same are really different. I was thinking of using as a motto for my book a quotation from King Lear: 'I'll teach you differences'.... 'You'd be surprised' wouldn't be a bad motto either Picture Quote #1
