Theatre Quotes

Theatre within theatre, when characters sees themselves on stage, always raises philosophical questions of choice and free will Picture Quote #1

A perfect weekend in London has to start on Friday night, by going to the theatre, the Donmar or the National. It’s a cliche for an actor, but I enjoy going as much as possible Picture Quote #1

I come from the New York theatre world, and I have a lot of gay male friends, so this friendship of Will and Grace’s isn’t such a stretch Picture Quote #1

My dad and I used to do movie marathons when I was a kid at the Chinese Theatre, and I just remember thinking, ‘One day I want to have a movie here’ And then later on, when ‘Save The Last Dance’ premiered there, that was definitely a full circle moment Picture Quote #1

We had a great dramatics department in school, so I did a lot of plays and theatre there. Later, when I was the captain of our student’s ward, I figured out that if you find something you really love to do, you don’t have to work for the rest of your life! You can just have fun and still excel in it because you enjoy what you do Picture Quote #1

Life in the theatre isn’t necessarily when you get money from performing. It isn’t when you sign a contract. It isn’t even when you are in a play. It’s when you understand it. If you understand it, you’ll know why you want to act Picture Quote #1

I’m trained in musical theatre and ‘Pitch Perfect’ is the first movie where I get to really belt out. I beat Adele for that role Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been one for late nights, which is why I have always preferred making films to theatre. A play takes over your life: you start to feel sick at lunchtime, and by mid-afternoon, you’re wishing for a bomb scare so the whole thing will be called off. Of course, if the evening goes well and you get the applause, then it’s wonderful Picture Quote #1

I would like to reconcile the church and the circus. I wanted to transform the theatre... to get my message across that there is only one God - the living man - the person sitting next to you. That is my religion. I believe that there is a sense to life Picture Quote #1

At the end of the 1960s, I was part of the downtown theatrical movement in New York that was making work in alleyways, garages, gyms, churches, non-traditional spaces. The idea was to get away from the illusion of the conventional theatre. But then I thought, what’s wrong with illusion? Picture Quote #1

I feel like theatre gives me the grounding, and keeps me alive, basically. Film gives me the thrill, and it’s like a one night stand. But I do enjoy being around people who love it so much Picture Quote #1

What’s great about collaborating is getting to work with wonderful people. That’s what theatre is about: other people getting you to give your best, and getting everyone else’s best out of them Picture Quote #1

I once met a man who was a billionaire, and I said to him: ‘Are you a self-made man?’ - and he turned around and said: ‘No man is self-made;’ and certainly, if you want to make films or get into television or even theatre, the amount of help that you need, the amount of people who need to give you a helping hand is extraordinary Picture Quote #1

I started doing theatre, and that’s when I really fell in love with the profession; I learned a lot. It felt a bit weird to go from living in New York on Broadway to university, so I kept putting it off. Then, eventually, I had to give up the place Picture Quote #1

I’ve always said the theatre is my church. It’s where I feel God the most. It’s where I know there’s a God Picture Quote #1

It’s a scary thing going into the workforce with a $50,000 debt and you’ve been trained as a classical theatre actor. There’s always a depression in the theatre Picture Quote #1

My mother worked in the old Minsky’s troupe, which toured the country in the golden age of burlesque theatre Picture Quote #1

For a long time, it was hard for me to get my work done in Chicago. Silk Road gave me opportunities to do shows like ‘Golden Child’ - shows that nobody else seemed interested in. And they bring an artistic integrity to the work that matches anything you’ll find at a bigger theatre Picture Quote #1

The way the world is, I think a silly evening in the theatre is a good thing, to take our minds off terror Picture Quote #1

It’s all good fun - television and movies and so on - but the good thing in theatre is there’s nothing and no one between you and the audience so you can do what you want really Picture Quote #1

I loved theatre and did magic, too, but I was never the best at it - there was never a teacher saying, ‘You’re great, you have to make this your career!’ I was good at science and math. I figured I’d go into science and become a dentist Picture Quote #1

I go to the theatre expecting to have a good time. I want each play and performance to take me somewhere. Naturally, this doesn’t always happen Picture Quote #1

I think the great thing about theatre, and if you start in theatre, is that it does build a confidence in poetic themes and ideas Picture Quote #1

I love the instantaneous nature of filming rather than the repetition of working in the theatre, but that maybe because I haven’t had great experiences working in the theatre Picture Quote #1

I have always been interested in theatre and after reading the script for THE INFLICTION OF CRUELTY, I thought that being part of this show and the Fringe would be a great experience Picture Quote #1

I’m really passionate about pantomime because it is often the first introduction for a child to theatre, and if that child has a great experience at a pantomime they will continue to come year after year Picture Quote #1

I started to respect older actors when I was young and then contemporary actors later on. Then I learned respect for comedy. When I was first doing theatre, I thought of it as just a means to become Sarah Bernhardt or someone like that. But acting with young people has been a great learning experience 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

Television is great but for me, as a performer, nothing compares to a live theatre show Picture Quote #1

I’ve done great theatre, great films and had a lot of opportunities in television. I also love to sing, and I’ve been able to do that once or twice in the television shows Picture Quote #1
