Stage Quotes

I love playing with a full band, but there’s just like a different feeling up on stage when you’re playing with a smaller group. It’s easier to play off each other Picture Quote #1

It is very rewarding to walk out on stage, feeling the love and reception Picture Quote #1

Stand on the stage in front of 15 people or 15,000. Have them look up to you and tell you how wonderful you are, and if you don’t think that’s a great feeling, okay, then you’re unlike me Picture Quote #1

There’s a feeling of elation that comes after getting off stage and then there’s a feeling of utter sadness that comes after getting off the stage Picture Quote #1

You might be feeling sick or a little down, but the second you hit the stage and hear the crowd, you’re ready to perform. That’s what a true performer is Picture Quote #1

And I never forgot this as long as I’ve ever performed, no matter how crap I had felt before I went on stage. I just remember Tina Turner going up there, singing her heart out for everybody, and meantime she had a 102-degree fever and she was feeling terrible Picture Quote #1

The world is a stage we walk upon. We are all in a way fictional characters who write ourselves with our beliefs Picture Quote #1

The only thing that matters to me is getting to the work - getting to do the work. And I don’t really care where it is: whether it’s on stage or on television or in film Picture Quote #1

Whether your audience is in a sweaty basement club or nestled in a favourite armchair, good money has been paid, and attention has got to be grabbed if you are not to be heckled off the stage or find your novel discarded in favour of the latest volume of ‘Fifty Shades of Whatever.’ Picture Quote #1

Some people do stage and film. Some people are film actors, and some people are stage actors. I’m quite sure that any of the actors who did the original production of ‘August’ could have done the film of ‘August.’ I don’t think any of them were particularly surprised when they didn’t wind up doing the film Picture Quote #1

Any adaptation - and I’ve done three in my career. I did ‘Sweeney Todd’ and ‘Hugo’ and ‘Coriolanus.’ It’s important to find what makes it a movie as opposed to just a film presentation of a stage play Picture Quote #1

In opera, everyone’s watching from a fixed viewpoint, and that really challenges you. Lighting, the sets, stage groupings, the music-but doesn’t relate too much to film Picture Quote #1

For film and TV, try to have a more conversational tone. For stage, you’ll need better diction and bigger vocal production Picture Quote #1

Film is much more visual, a scene is typically a lot shorter, you’re dealing with a lot more characters, a lot more locations, and you’re able to rely on things that you just can never do on the stage Picture Quote #1

In terms of drama school, what that will give you that you won’t necessarily learn on a film set is the technical ability - ie, projecting your voice and stage craft Picture Quote #1

Nothing good ever happens at lunch. The cafeteria is a giant sound stage where they film daily segments of Teenage Humiliation Rituals. And it smells gross Picture Quote #1

Broadway producers are happy to have a big Hollywood name they can post on the marquee, but most of them assume that television and film stars really can’t handle stage work. Too often, they’re right Picture Quote #1

I think film writing, you’re thinking in pictures, and stage writing, you’re thinking in dialogue. In film writing, it’s also, you only get so many words, so everything has to earn its place in a really economical way. I think for stage writing, you have more leeway Picture Quote #1

As a young kid, I wasn’t really interested at that stage - getting financial advice was far from my mind. I was focused on playing football. But I got onboard with this financial adviser and I heeded his advice, and that was my smartest money decision Picture Quote #1

Singing for stage, if you don’t hear yourself, that’s when you push, and that’s when you can hurt your voice sometimes. So if I can hear myself in my ear, it really helps me to find that balance of how loud I needed to be singing Picture Quote #1

I knew I wanted to be a singer from the age of five. I’ve been lucky to be so single-minded - some of my friends still don’t know what they want to do, and they’re finding it hard. There are home videos of me singing and taking centre stage at family parties when I’m about three Picture Quote #1

For my part, I confess I seldom listen to the players: one has so much to do, in looking about and finding out one’s acquaintance, that, really, one has no time to mind the stage. One merely comes to meet one’s friends, and show that one’s alive Picture Quote #1

With a stage play, they can’t cut a word; you can be in rehearsals every day, you cast it, you cast the director, too; the amount of control for a playwright is almost infinite, so you have that control over the finished product Picture Quote #1

The Metropolitan Opera, of course, is the gold standard in opera. The Met experience includes the huge stage, the vast audience, the elaborate sets. Anyone who saw ‘Faust’ there - I did - knows exactly what hell is like, complete with fire, smoke and terror Picture Quote #1

Performing on stage is my first love - it’s why I wanted to be an actor in the first place - and ‘Arcadia’ is the highlight of my career so far. I love the intimacy of a live theatre audience - you can really squeeze every last drop out of each scene Picture Quote #1

Stage is definitely my home first and foremost - I still feel like I’m yet to earn my stripes on set Picture Quote #1

I’m most at home on the stage. I was carried onstage for the first time when I was six months old Picture Quote #1
