Theatre Quotes

First there was the theatre of people and animals, then of people and the devil. Now we need the theatre of people and people Picture Quote #1

I don’t think it’s the job of theatre at the moment to provide political propaganda; that would be simplistic. We have to explore our situation further before we will understand it Picture Quote #1

Now, drama is quite useful at helping us to understand what our position is and, conversely, we might then understand why our theatre is being destroyed Picture Quote #1

As I had collaborated with visual artists before whether on installations, on performance pieces, in the context of theatre works and as I had taught for a time in art colleges the idea of writing music in response to painting was not alien Picture Quote #1

I get to the theatre in plenty of time; I prepare my shoes in advance; I eat and drink the right things at the right time. The rest you have to leave to luck! Picture Quote #1

People that went to art house theatre have more options, I used to go, but now think any movie can be delivered in a red envelope three months after it’s released so why not watch it on my flat screen in the comfort of home Picture Quote #1

Once you get into your stride, the camera becomes like another person in the room. It’s like being in a very small theatre where there is no getting away with anything because the audience is centimetres away from you Picture Quote #1

It’s great to be in a film that’s able to have people really want to become socially conscious, to walk out of the theatre and want to do something Picture Quote #1

I never thought of myself in comedy at all... I loved going to the theatre and seeing people wearing beautiful clothes come down the staircase and start to dance Picture Quote #1

I always thought that it was every performer’s dream. That’s the epitome of being an artist, being able to express song, dance and acting in a live theatre setting and really connecting with an audience on that level Picture Quote #1

The people on the business side in the music business are kind of different from the theatre business. I think it’s partly because there are different pressures on the industries Picture Quote #1

To maintain one’s individuality, integrity, and true personality in the theatre is a big task Picture Quote #1

There are all sorts of reasons why I don’t do much work in the theatre, the main one being that after two performances I feel I’ve given all I can. I hate repetition, I really do. It’s like asking a painter to paint he same picture every day of his life Picture Quote #1

Film is fragmented and gets into lots of other people’s hands. There are a lot of pleasures that theatre gives me. You get to perform uninterrupted Picture Quote #1

We talk about theatre museums filled with old costumes and things. What we also need is a theatre museum of the old routines on videotape. We are only the custodians of those techniques, and they should be preserved Picture Quote #1

I never had any classes or went to theatre school like a lot of actors, so all of my training has been on stage with different directors. That was a pretty good school room Picture Quote #1

Thirty years ago dinner theatre used to be much more of a going concern than it is now Picture Quote #1

I loathe bad theater and most theatre is very bad because its repetitious, unexciting and, dangerously, it is sometimes praised for those things Picture Quote #1

I think film and television are really a director’s medium, whereas theatre is the actor’s medium Picture Quote #1

Rather than disliking theatre, I’ve expressed a preference for television because it tends to deal in its small way much more with issues and is able to reach a broader church of people than theatre Picture Quote #1

The money is better in films and television. But in terms of acting, theatre is more rewarding Picture Quote #1

Theatre is expensive to go to. I certainly felt when I was growing up that theatre wasn’t for us. Theatre still has that stigma to it. A lot of people feel intimidated and underrepresented in theatre Picture Quote #1

The best theatre I’ve done, I’ve done right here in this living room Picture Quote #1

My family were broadminded enough to support me when I wanted to pursue a life in the theatre Picture Quote #1

I am a theatre actor, but the last ten years I’ve taken parts in movies because it keeps me in money Picture Quote #1

My first interest was always music, and somehow that channelled itself into films and acting. I don’t know what the natural transition of it was. I mean I acted a little bit when I was young and like any kid would in a community theatre Picture Quote #1

The difference between a theatre with and without an audience is enormous. There is a palpable, critical energy created by the presence of the audience Picture Quote #1

I think, by and large, the level of acting is mediocre. When I go to the theatre, I get so angry. I don’t go Picture Quote #1
