Is it not a noble farce, where kings, republics, and emperors have for so many ages played their parts, and to which the whole vast universe serves for a theatre? Picture Quote #1

We know that the wildest and most moving dramas are played not in the theatre but in the hearts of ordinary men and women Picture Quote #1

It was very natural for me to want to disappear into the theatre, I am really very shy Picture Quote #1

This profusion of eccentricities, this dream in masonry and living rock is not a drop scene in a theatre, but a city in the world of reality Picture Quote #1

It being a remarkable fact in theatrical history, but one long since established beyond dispute, that it is a hopeless endeavor to attract people to a theatre unless they can be first brought to believe that they will never get in Picture Quote #1

Sin is what is new, strong, surprising, strange. The theatre must take an interest in sin if the young are to be able to go there Picture Quote #1

The world was no doubt made, that it might be a theatre of the divine glory Picture Quote #1

As for theatre, there’s ups and downs to everything. Theatre is ephemeral. But that is part of its charm because you can always say the production was better than it was Picture Quote #1

We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself Picture Quote #1

Mankind’s common instinct for reality has always held the world to be essentially a theatre for heroism. In heroism, we feel, life’s supreme mystery is hidden. We tolerate no one who has no capacity whatever for it in any direction. On the other hand, no matter what a man’s frailties otherwise may be, if he be willing to risk death, and still more if he suffer it heroically, in the service he has chosen, the fact consecrates him forever Picture Quote #1

A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that’s just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it’s a joke Picture Quote #1

The theatre is certainly a place for learning about the brevity of human glory: oh all those wonderful glittering absolutely vanished pantomime! Now I shall abjure magic and become a hermit : put myself in a situation where I can honestly say that I have nothing else to do but to learn to be good Picture Quote #1

I will begin with what in my opinion is your lack of restraint. You are like a spectator in a theatre who expresses his enthusiasm so unrestrainedly that he prevents himself and others from hearing. That lack of restraint is particularly noticeable in the descriptions of nature with which you interrupt dialogues; when one reads them, these descriptions, one wishes they were more compact, shorter, say two or three lines Picture Quote #1

I’ve always tried to not let movie, television or theatre be all that my life is about. I’ve always tried to get involved in the community or my family now I have kids Picture Quote #1

When the cinematograph first made its appearance, we were told that the days of the ordinary theatre were numbered Picture Quote #1

I have done every job in the theatre apart from wardrobe. I was out of work more times than I was in it Picture Quote #1

I don’t rehearse films as much as opera or theatre. When I began directing films I thought a long rehearsal was a good idea. Experience showed me that the best performance was often left in a rehearsal room Picture Quote #1

It’s a real leveller, you know, to do theatre at least once every two years Picture Quote #1

Where every moment is about truth and I think it’s a great challenge every night. That’s what really drove me to wanting to do theatre, and it’s great Picture Quote #1

Fundamentally, whether directing in the theatre or a film, you have to be a good storyteller, regardless of the form. The thing I had to work hardest at was thinking in shots Picture Quote #1

Yes, it is a rehearsed show, yes, it was analogy of going to see a play at the theatre, where everything has to be in place and whole things, everything being works, all works together to get the best effect you know it’s more like an actor learning a part Picture Quote #1

I think theatre helped, only because it was acting experience. I got to work with a lot of directors Picture Quote #1

I still think of myself as a stage actor. When I do film and television I try to implement what I was taught to do in theatre, to try to stretch into characters that are far from myself Picture Quote #1
