Theatre Quotes

I come from the theatre, my bones are in the theatre; it’s as natural as breathing to want to be in the theatre Picture Quote #1

The world that you see is like a motion picture. We are engrossed in a film and we have forgotten that we’re sitting in a movie theatre Picture Quote #1

Theatre is, at its roots, some very brave people mutually consenting to a make believe world, with nothing but language to rest on Picture Quote #1

What I love about the theatre is that it’s always metaphorical. It’s like going back to being a kid again, and we’re all pretending in a room. Sometimes, when the pretending really works, I find it much, much more moving than something on film Picture Quote #1

When football stars disappear, so do the teams, and that is a very curious phenomenon. It is like in the theatre, in a play, where there is a great star. If the star is not well, the whole cast suffers Picture Quote #1

Theatre was an art form that I didn’t really respect, and because I wanted to shake it up and do different things on stage, I was able to combine all the things I’d learnt through writing on my own Picture Quote #1

I seldom feel comfortable in a theatre. I always feel like I own a cinema. I feel equally happy in an empty one as a full one. Probably happier in an empty one! Picture Quote #1

There’s a great charm in theatre; I enjoyed doing it for twelve years and did lots of plays. At this chapter of my life, I am a cinema actor, and I would like to continue to be so, and at some point I would return to the theatre Picture Quote #1

I’d quite like to do a film but I’d also love to do more theatre. I want to keep challenging myself with good roles. It’s harder for women because there aren’t as many challenging roles Picture Quote #1

Unless comedy touches me as well as amuses me, it leaves me with a sense of having wasted my evening. I go to the theatre to be moved to laughter, not to be tickled or bustled into it Picture Quote #1

One half of the pleasure experienced at a theatre arises from the spectator’s sympathy with the rest of the audience, and, especially from his belief in their sympathy with him Picture Quote #1

I think it is so much more fun to discover film in the movie theatre when there is so much anticipation about the movie Picture Quote #1

You see all races in music, and in dance and theatre, so why can’t we see it in fashion? Picture Quote #1

Yeah, well I’ve always played comedy. My background is musical comedy theatre and that’s really where my training is. As an actor, that’s my training Picture Quote #1

Theatre is an exclusive place that tends to be dominated by white men, or dying white men Picture Quote #1

Theatre critics have no special access to the truth. And there should be no objective truth to art Picture Quote #1

... in the happy laughter of a theatre audience one can get the most immediate and numerically impressive guarantee that there is nothing in one’s mind which is not familiar to the mass of persons living at the time Picture Quote #1

When the sun sets beautifully, other beauties rise. Nature is a theatre; when one great player leaves the scene, another great player immediately enters. The play always continues excellently Picture Quote #1

The society girl meets more dangers than the girl on the stage. There is more danger at a tango tea than in the theatre. The actor is less dangerous than the dancing master Picture Quote #1

In theatre, you’ve got to make the connect with your audience in the first three minutes. If you haven’t, you know you’ve almost lost them Picture Quote #1

I am grateful to theatre for making me what I am today. But it’s not like theatre is my first love. I am equally attached to cinema, which is, actually, a child of theatre, since it borrows heavily from it Picture Quote #1

I tell stories through dance, and I think that’s why I’m so attracted to the theatre because even the choreography in theatre moves the plot forward at all times Picture Quote #1

All the best performers bring to their role something more, something different than what the author put on paper. That’s what makes theatre live. That’s why it persists Picture Quote #1

My playground was the theatre. I’d sit and watch my mother pretend for a living. As a young girl, that’s pretty seductive Picture Quote #1

For the theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too long than too short. An artiste with short arms can never, never make a fine gesture Picture Quote #1

My college training was primarily in theatre, with an eye to becoming a director, actor, or producer Picture Quote #1

The pit of a theatre is the one place where the tears of virtuous and wicked men alike are mingled Picture Quote #1

The strange power of art is sometimes it can show that what people have in common is more urgent than what differentiates them. It seems to me it’s something that theatre can do, but it’s rare; it’s very rare Picture Quote #1

I grew up around the theatre. My mother is an actress. I would fall asleep on tons of theatre chairs. It’s in my blood; it’s in my spirit and my fabric of who I am Picture Quote #1

I think as a filmmaker my first contribution would just be to make a good movie that people would love to see and leave the theatre charged, with a sense of excitement Picture Quote #1
