Theatre Quotes

Everyone the world over talks about British actors and British talent and I think that’s because we were trained - until now - in theatre Picture Quote #1

Denmark as a country has always looked up to England. I’ve always felt that British actors are fantastic. There’s a strong theatre tradition in your country, and that is reflected in TV and film as well. We’ve always thought that for crime series, you were the masters, and the general feeling the Danes have of British drama is that it’s excellent Picture Quote #1

I’d rather do theatre and British films than move to L.A. in hopes of getting small roles in American films Picture Quote #1

I want to be able to follow the example of those extraordinary British actresses who move effortlessly from film to TV to theatre roles Picture Quote #1

In France, they call the people who come to the theatre ‘les spectateurs’ in Britain and Ireland, they are the audience, the people who listen. This does not mean the French are not interested in language. On the contrary. It actually says more about the undeveloped visual sense over here Picture Quote #1

There’s a tradition in British intellectual life of mocking any non-political force that gets involved in politics, especially within the sphere of the arts and the theatre Picture Quote #1

I played Tina Denmark in Ruthless the Musical when I was 9 at the Theatre on Broadway in Denver Picture Quote #1

I have ambitions to do a Broadway record one of these days and get in the studio with like, a real orchestra. I’m a big musical theatre geek Picture Quote #1

I remember seeing ‘Hairspray’ when I was 15, and it is such a luxury to be able to see a Broadway show, and it is so hard to do if you don’t live in New York - plus, it can be expensive to go to the theatre all the time, too Picture Quote #1

My mother’s side of the family was in the production side of theatre. My grandfather, Jose Vega, was a general manager for Neil Simon shows on Broadway Picture Quote #1

Individual and corporate support is vital to building on London’s leadership in the arts, and I hope others will join me in wanting to build on the National’s role at the heart of modern theatre and sustaining it long into the future Picture Quote #1

I was interested in theatre and media and came to Mumbai to get a job. I imagined that the film industry would be a white building with producers sitting in different rooms, and you could walk in and meet them, and they would interview you and select you Picture Quote #1

I gave my life to the Group Theatre, because in it I’m building something for myself. What I build, I am Picture Quote #1

In 1969, I wrote a musical called ‘Mother Earth.’ It was a rock musical with an ecology theme. We did it at the South Coast Repertory Theatre in Southern California where I was a member. It was a smash hit in this small theater Picture Quote #1

Every night, half an hour before curtain up, the bells of St. Malachy’s, the Actors’ Chapel on New York’s 49th Street, peal the tune of ‘There’s No Business Like Show Business.’ If you walk the streets of the theatre district before a show and see the vast, enthusiastic lines it sounds like a calling: there is certainly no place like Broadway Picture Quote #1

I went to theatre school for four years and just wanted to do theatre. I had no ambition to be on TV or to be on camera. I just wanted to go to New York or London and be on stage... I did a lot of theatre in Montreal, got involved in TV in Toronto and then moved to L.A. I hope that film and TV will take me back to theatre Picture Quote #1

I’m allergic to the word ‘important’ in film and theatre. Cancer research is important Picture Quote #1

What I love is a good role. In the theatre, there is just a canon of extraordinary roles, the quality of character is amazing, but I also love working in front of a camera. It was the first one for me; as a kid I was in front of a camera. I feel at home Picture Quote #1

I need theatre for my equilibrium, because in theatre the actors don’t care so much about image, about celebrity - you are more independent. There is not the narcissism, maybe, that you find in cinema Picture Quote #1

You weren’t going to the theatre to change the world, but you had a chance to affect the world, the thinking and the feelings of the world Picture Quote #1

Don’t expect the theatre to satisfy the habits of its audience, but to change them Picture Quote #1

I recently did a play, Athol Fugard’s ‘Coming Home’ at Long Wharf Theatre, where I played one character throughout - I sat at a table and didn’t have any costume changes. Following one character’s arc from beginning to end is a whole different mindset 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 think some of my best theatre training has been in the Marine Corps. Not only meeting a bunch of characters, but growing up. You’re in really adult situations at a young age, as far as being in charge of people Picture Quote #1
