Theatre Quotes

Great theatre is about challenging how we think and encouraging us to fantasize about a world we aspire to Picture Quote #1

I don’t have a preference between theatre and film; I like to do both. But I will say that there’s something about theatre that is more nourishing and sustaining than film ever can be Picture Quote #1

In the whole course of our work at the theatre we have been, I may say, drenched with advice by friendly people who for years gave us the reasons why we did not succeed... All their advice, or at least some of it, might have been good if we had wanted to make money, to make a common place of amusement Picture Quote #1

I don’t know, on a sitcom, and in theatre especially, you have to really be listening to an audience. And if you’re losing them, you can hear the sniffs, and the playbills shuffling and whatnot Picture Quote #1

Look at a football field. It looks like a big movie screen. This is theatre. Football combines the strategy of chess. It’s part ballet. It’s part battleground, part playground. We clarify, amplify and glorify the game with our footage, the narration and that music, and in the end create an inspirational piece of footage Picture Quote #1

I did theatre when I was nine, I think. Nine and ten, and that was just the beginning of my whole involvement in acting, my whole interest. I don’t really remember it that well. But it was really fun. I mean, it was exciting just to be on stage in front of an audience. It gives you a different kind of rush Picture Quote #1

Coming back to theatre is something I’m keen to do for the rest of my life. It recharges my batteries, so to speak Picture Quote #1

I started in theatre, and for me, it was all about transformation. You transform into the character that you’re playing Picture Quote #1

I get grumpy about the innate conservatism of our tastes; I love bold theatre, and I get annoyed when a heritage piece is really successful Picture Quote #1

There’s nowhere to hide in the theatre. You can’t be the one in rehearsal who doesn’t know their lines Picture Quote #1

I used to say that theatre was my favourite thing. But the more I do film, the more I appreciate it Picture Quote #1

A theatre is the most important sort of house in the world, because that’s where people are shown what they could be if they wanted, and what they’d like to be if they dared to and what they really are Picture Quote #1

Anarchy loves theatre. That’s the whole point. People forget that. You have to laugh at the devil, not fight him. They’ll always have more guns, they’ll always have more bombs that go off with a bigger bang. No matter how revolting you become they’ll always be willing to be more revolting to you. They’ve had so much more practice Picture Quote #1

He’s never fought with religion; what is the point of railing against such beauty, such intimate theatre, such chime of eternity? He can treasure it without believing in it Picture Quote #1

Acting in theatre or television or screen is only for the irrecoverably diseased, those so smitten with the need that there is no choice Picture Quote #1

Actor training should be broadly humanistic, involving the study not just of dramatic literature and theatre history, but of languages, literature, and history generally, and should be centered on acting in plays rather than just exercises, improvisations, monologues, or even scenes Picture Quote #1

Theatre, in which actors take on changing roles, has among its many functions the examination of identity. For the individual, theatre is a kind of identity laboratory in which social roles can be examined vicariously Picture Quote #1

In the theatre we reach out and touch the past through literature, history and memory so that we might receive and relive significant and relevant human qualities in the present and then pass them on to future generations Picture Quote #1

Acting is a sport. On stage you must be ready to move like a tennis player on his toes. Your concentration must be keen, your reflexes sharp; your body and mind are in top gear, the chase is on. Acting is energy. In the theatre people pay to see energy Picture Quote #1

There is only one way of surviving all the early heartbreaks in this business. You must have a sense of humor. And I think it also helps if you are a dreamer. I had my dreams all right. And that is something no one can ever take away. They cost nothing, and they can be as real as you like to make them. You own your dreams and they are priceless. I’ve been a lavatory attendant, a theatre usher, a panhandler, all for real. Now, as an actor, I can be a journalist today and a brain surgeon tomorrow. That’s the stuff my dreams are made of Picture Quote #1

When you are in a good theatre show, it is a wonderful and very fulfilling experience, entertaining a large audience and their showing their appreciation for your efforts Picture Quote #1

In raising a people from slavery to freedom, you have called them to act on a new theatre; and it is a necessary part of your business, to teach them how to perform their parts Picture Quote #1

Life beats down and crushes our souls and theatre reminds us that we have one. At least the type of theatre that I’m interested in; that is, theatre that moves an audience. You have the opportunity to literally impact the lives of people if they work on material that has integrity. But today, most actors simply want to be famous. Well, being an actor was never supposed to be about fame and money. Being an actor is a religious calling because you’ve been given the ability, the gift to inspire humanity. Think about that on the way to your soap opera audition Picture Quote #1

I am not a complete idiot, but whether from weakness or laziness have no talent for thinking. I know only how to reflect: I am a mirror... Logic does not exist for me. I float on the waves of art and life and never really know how to distinguish what belongs to the one or the other or what is common to both. Life unfolds for me like a theatre presenting a sequence of somewhat unreal sentiments; while the things of art are real to me and go straight to my heart Picture Quote #1

I think its good for an actor to bounce between stuff on camera and stuff in theatre. If I could do half and half every year I would be a very, very happy man Picture Quote #1

I can’t sit through plays and musical theatre. I just want to run up onstage and mess up their hair and turn over the furniture Picture Quote #1
