Theater Quotes

I was probably never going to get to do the kind of things dramatically that I really wanted to do, so I returned to theater from time to time, and to write, and produce. It’s by no means sour grapes Picture Quote #1

Actors are not a great breed of people, I don’t think. I count myself as something of an exception.

I’m not spoiled in that way, and if I fight for something, it’s about the work, not about how big my trailer is Picture Quote #1

The theater, bringing impersonal masks to life, is only for those who are virile enough to create new life: either as a conflict of passions subtler than those we already know, or as a complete new character Picture Quote #1

I’ve always just gone with the best role, and I don’t care if it’s in theater, film or television Picture Quote #1

Because of my background in theater and radio acting, I knew that I could make a living as an actor Picture Quote #1

The knights of the theater represented to me not only the pinnacle of the profession but the esteem in which the profession was held. To find myself, to my astonishment, in that company is the grandest thing that has professionally happened to me Picture Quote #1

I have directed good actors and have gone through the process which is more detailed in theater in a way. You have to get people to stay for two or three hours in a performance. They need more talk and rehearsal than in films Picture Quote #1

No theater could sanely flourish until there was an umbilical connection between what was happening on the stage and what was happening in the world Picture Quote #1

I think the cinema you like has more to do with silence, and the theater you like has more to do with language Picture Quote #1
