Plays Quotes

I love plays that have musical moments. I’m not a big fan of musicals per se, but I love straight plays that have musical edges to them. I don’t know if I will ever be able to structure a musical, but ‘Finer Noble Gases’ is as close as I’ve gotten Picture Quote #1

There’s a large opportunity for Bon Iver to be a special thing, even from a business standpoint - just trying to do cooler things. Every band sells t-shirts and plays certain auditoriums, but I’m sick of being like everyone else, because I’m not Picture Quote #1

I started playing in 98, but I got hooked by playing celebrity golf tournaments. Tiger had a lot to do with it - his passion, the way that he plays. He’s unique and different, and he inspired a lot of my passion. It’s a sport you can’t master. If you’re an athlete, you can do almost anything, but golf is not like that Picture Quote #1

I feel like my early experiences of acting, and I think a lot of other actors’ too, are probably at camp or school plays where you get to have great range. At camp, I remember getting to play a 50-year-old man Picture Quote #1

It was new to play a woman who plays with her sincerity, and who is a seductress, a manipulator and a liar! I was able to compose a character as opposed to being very natural, so it was very interesting for me. It was great to realise that I could be this kind of real woman! Picture Quote #1

I tried to avoid making plays or films that weren’t telling a story that I felt was important. And what I discovered in the process is, it makes you more empathic because you have to enter someone else’s reality and you learn to see through many other people’s eyes Picture Quote #1

I have, over the years brought an enormous number of plays to television starting obviously with Nicholas Nickelby and then things like Angels In America or in Wit with Emma Thompson and Mike Nichols. So, yes, I do find that very interesting and I’m sure that down the road there will be plays that I’ll want to do that way Picture Quote #1

In defense of games, I want to point out that the writing in plays, including everything by August Strindberg and The Lion King, is 100% pure crap. So we’re doing better than they are even though they have the benefit of mostly not being about space marines Picture Quote #1

I’d love to do comedy. I’d probably have to get my laughing fits in check, because generally if I’ve done comedy, I’m usually the straight character that plays against the very obviously funny character, so that’s really hard when the person is really hilarious Picture Quote #1

No one can compare to Ronaldinho. I remember his plays, his dribbles. I remember him winning every title at the Camp Nou. He made history at Barca, he made history with Brazil and he’s still making history Picture Quote #1

It’s funny, if you go back and look at all those old movies a lot of times they didn’t have the budget for music. Each scene here was written to a different time, whether that be ‘Breakfast in America’ or just different soundtracks that we had for different parts of the movie. I’m interested to see how it all plays once it’s all put together Picture Quote #1

The decision to write full time was made when I was twenty-eight years old and had just had two small plays accepted for BBC Radio Picture Quote #1

Think about it: No matter who you are, the past plays a large part in your life. I am all about living in the present as best as I can. Try as I might, there is only so much I am able to achieve on this front Picture Quote #1

My advice to young people who want to act is just to do it as much as you can! Find friends who also want to do it and have readings of great plays in your apartment. You don’t have to wait for someone else to tell you that you can do it. You can be getting better on your own all the time Picture Quote #1

Writing plays for me is often an act of looking at basement-level fears in terms of where they come from Picture Quote #1

For me, writing plays is far more an act of the mind than of the emotions. It’s a very different kind of impulse than fiction writing Picture Quote #1

I love stage work. The thing about plays is that they’re perfectible. With film, you shoot that take and maybe another. During ‘Spamalot,’ I rewrote Act II three times Picture Quote #1

I used to do school plays. I never really took any acting classes. I’m just a natural ham, I guess Picture Quote #1

I was always acting. I was doing after-school plays and stuff like that Picture Quote #1

The ear plays the role of the guide in the museum in the concert I’m taking now. We don’t have an oral guide, we have to provide it ourselves. One reason why active listening is absolutely essential Picture Quote #1

One of the problems is that everybody is used to the old-fashioned debate system, which is very controlled, and where the moderator plays a more active role Picture Quote #1

I love writing plays because they are living, fluid things that are energised by the producer, designers, musicians, actors and audience Picture Quote #1

Plays are frequently infected with ideas that came from actors or even sound engineers. Some Shakespeare scholars wonder whether some of the Bard’s lines came from onstage improvisations by actors Picture Quote #1

Doing Shakespeare once is not fair to the play. I have been in Shakespeare plays when it’s not until the last two or three performances when I even understand certain things. In the old days star actors would travel the world doing the same parts over and over again Picture Quote #1

I went into this job to do plays, but that’s here for 10 weeks, and the rest of the year I do a lot of other things-the administrative work of planning, reading plays Picture Quote #1

I don’t do stuff to be a star. I do it because I feel it’s important for kids, African American kids, to see an African American face that plays baseball Picture Quote #1

People in their early 20s are not often considered the target demographic for new plays; musicals have had much more success in exploring that coming-of-age period of life Picture Quote #1

Despite the digital age, there is a very large number of venues and spaces that are looking for plays, and many of them are looking for new plays Picture Quote #1

You talk all the time about being connected, being a unit, believing in each other. But if you have unnamed sources, people out there cutting you down, and then you find out it’s the person calling the plays - that would be really hard to deal with, to look at him the same way Picture Quote #1
