Theater Quotes

I know how I felt when I saw things like ‘Fame’ on television when I was growing up and how that was an exceptional magnet for me to want to explore the theater. I can only assume that ‘Smash’ is doing that for anyone who is halfway interested in theater already Picture Quote #1

Live theater is just an incredibly powerful medium, and I think anyone who goes, whether they know about it or not, if they see something that sort of fits with them, it’s kind of hard to deny that they had a good time Picture Quote #1

Doing theater, I call it concentrated shampoo. You put a dime in the palm of your hand and you get a headful of lather. When you do a play, you’re there for two and a half hours, and you live a lifetime Picture Quote #1

I think film requires a lot more patience and concentration and each day you’re keeping the entire picture in your head throughout a two to three month film shoot. Whereas TV, especially half hour, is like doing a play a week or live theater Picture Quote #1

It was wonderful, a stunning happy ending to what began as another tragic rock and roll story, as if Bob Dylan had been arrested in Miami for jacking off in a seedy little XXX theater while stroking the spine of a fat young boy Picture Quote #1

I love live theater; I like the relationship between the show and the audience. That’s my comfort zone, but more than anything, it’s what makes me happy Picture Quote #1

I had a hard-scrabble childhood with my parents. I have a lot of baggage. To come down to the footlights and accept the audience’s affection inside a Broadway theater - that didn’t come easily to me Picture Quote #1

I did musical theater, and I did dancing for what it was at the performing arts high school that I went to. I went to a school where I was there on a scholarship. So I think when you’re on a scholarship, you always work a tad harder, or you want to work a tad harder than the next person Picture Quote #1

I think the hardest thing I’ve had to learn is that just because people might speak a certain way in real life doesn’t mean it’s engaging in the theater Picture Quote #1

I had always been the theater nerd at Northwestern University. I knew I wanted to do acting, but I hated the idea of being this cliche - a girl from L.A. who decides to be an actress Picture Quote #1

I have to be invested spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically to do theater. I can’t do it to make a living. I have four kids, a couple of grandkids, and two mortgages Picture Quote #1

To say whatever nonsense comes into your head without any repercussions has got to be a bigger high than heckling a movie screen in a darkened theater Picture Quote #1

Maybe what I’m trying to do is heal others. I think what we’re trying to do in theater is heal someone Picture Quote #1

I know theater can improve the quality of people’s lives, and I know theater can heal. I’ve worked as a doctor clown in a hospital for two years. I have seen sick kids and sad parents and doctors be lifted and transported in moments of pure joy. I know theater unites us Picture Quote #1

I had a job at a movie theater for like a year and a half and then a job at a health food store for, like, two years. Those were the only two jobs I ever had Picture Quote #1

Movies are all about plot. Theater, even if it’s story heavy, it’s about ideas. Theater has to resonate in your heart in a way that movies don’t Picture Quote #1

Growing up, I was picked on a bit; I was pretty heavy-set, and then I was a theater kid. I just felt unpopular and uncool, so I think in my mind I had this idea of fame and being popular and how nice that would be. The reality of it is sometimes it’s not nice Picture Quote #1

If you can sell that you’re the King of Scotland, or Henry V on a tiny stage in a studio theater somewhere, then you can probably sell that you’re a starship captain or a time traveler Picture Quote #1

When I was in junior high, a foreign-history teacher started a theater class. So I got my feet wet there and through high school, so I was very fascinated with acting as a means of expression Picture Quote #1
