Theater Quotes

Basically, my socialization as a child didn’t come from any schooling; it came from being in theater and meeting people online Picture Quote #1

The theater is a communal event, like church. The playwright constructs a mass to be performed for a lot of people. She writes a prayer, which is really just the longings of one heart Picture Quote #1

It was very natural for me to want to disappear into dark theater, I am really very shy. That is something that people never seem to fully grasp because, when you are an actor, you are meant to be an exhibitionist Picture Quote #1

I wish to be moved. I cannot feel in life. I must have others do it for me in theater Picture Quote #1

If you go running, you put on sneakers. When you go bowling, you take your personal bowling balls with you. In much the same fashion, it won’t be long before you have your special sunglasses to take to the movie theater Picture Quote #1

In movies, you have a production assistant carrying your chair around and getting you coffee. In theater, no one carries your chair, no one gets you your coffee, there’s no craft service, there’s no per diem. The only thing that is provided for you is coffee, tea, sugar and milk. It doesn’t matter how big a star you are or whatever Picture Quote #1

That’s why I love doing live theater more than anything: You get an immediate reaction, whether it’s good or bad Picture Quote #1

I definitely wasn’t cool in high school. I really wasn’t. I did belong to many of the clubs and was in leadership on yearbook and did the musical theater route, so I had friends in all areas, but I certainly did not know what to wear, did not know how to do my hair, all those things Picture Quote #1

I went to a theater arts school, so I’m interested in many different projects, whether it be film, television or even live theater. I’m a performer. That’s what I do. That’s what I want to do Picture Quote #1

I am more alive in the theater than anywhere else, but what I take into the theater I get from the streets Picture Quote #1

Sin in the theater, I can observe now, is comparable to education in a university: it is there for those who wish to take advantage of it, but fewer do than you might suspect Picture Quote #1

I auditioned equally for film and theater. The difference is that theater has seasons, while film, it’s always happening Picture Quote #1

I’m an extrovert, I like to gesticulate and talk loud and stuff, and the theater is easy for me Picture Quote #1

The taboo for straight actors playing gay is gone... My mother was squirming a bit in the theater because she comes from a different generation Picture Quote #1

I’ve been offered nymphomaniacs, kleptomaniacs, pyromaniacs, homicidal maniacs and just plain maniacs. I think producers felt that after playing a long series of noble and admirable characters there would be quite a lot of shock value in seeing me play something altogether different. But I prefer upbeat stories that send people out of the theater feeling better than they did coming in. It’s my cup of tea Picture Quote #1

Depression is something that seems really obscure when you see it in a theater, but when you talk to people who come to see it and hear their reactions, you realize that it is such a prevalent part of life and our society today that it really needed to be told, and still needs to be told Picture Quote #1

You want people to identify with the person on the screen or in the theater, but you don’t want them to identify with you as a person Picture Quote #1

I do come from a theater background, where the playwright is optimal and king and you have to serve the playwright. So I am, of course, a huge fan of scripted everything Picture Quote #1

Literature is the best way to overcome death. My father, as I said, is an actor. He’s the happiest man on earth when he’s performing, but when the show is over, he’s sad and troubled. I wish he could live in the eternal present, because in the theater everything remains in memories and photographs. Literature, on the other hand, allows you to live in the present and to remain in the pantheon of the future.Literature is a way to say, I was here, this is what I thought, this is what I perceived. This is my signature, this is my name Picture Quote #1

The language of film is further and further away from the language of theater, and is closer to music. It’s abstract but still narrative. Everything feels less rehearsed. It’s more experimental than classical Picture Quote #1

I’d forgotten how arrogant people are in the theater, I’m agreeing to starve for a year and he seems to think I should be pleased to have the part Picture Quote #1

When I was growing up in the theater there were all these amazing girls telling me about the guy who broke their heart. And I was always wishing that it was me Picture Quote #1

I think theater has given me the opportunity to show what a character actor I can be Picture Quote #1

Silence has a myriad of meanings. In the theater, silence is an absence of words, but never an absence of meaning Picture Quote #1

I work in between the cracks, where the voice starts dancing, where the body starts singing, where theater becomes cinema Picture Quote #1

It seems to me that the thing that makes the theater worthwhile is the fact that it attracts so many people with ideas who are constantly trying to share them with the public. Real art is illumination. It gives a man an idea he never had before or lights up ideas that were formless or only lurking in the shadows of his mind. It adds stature to life Picture Quote #1

I’m used to working hard. Theater can be very grueling, and that’s all I’ve ever known. It’s what I’ve done for 20 years, which is crazy Picture Quote #1

When I’m in the process of making a movie I’m not thinking about the finished result, and whether people have to see it once or more than once, and what the reaction to it will be. I just make it, and then I live with the consequences, some of which may not be as pleasant as I’d like! I know one thing, however. Many viewers may come out of the theater not satisfied, but they won’t be able to forget the movie. I know they’ll be talking about it during their next dinner. I want them to be a little restless about my movies, and keep trying to find something in them Picture Quote #1

Anyone can do theater, even actors. And, theater can be done everywhere, even in a theater Picture Quote #1
