Angels In America Quotes

San Francisco has just blown us all away. I also understand Angels in America didn’t do well there Picture Quote #1

I had a dream, in 1985, I believe, when a friend I’d gone to school with was sick - one of the first people I knew who’d gotten the AIDS virus. I had a dream of him in his bedroom with an angel crashing through the ceiling. I wrote a poem called ‘Angels in America.’ I’ve never looked at the poem since the day I wrote it Picture Quote #1

I’m fairly certain when I die that the obituary will say, ‘Author of ‘Angels in America’ dies.’ Unless I’m completely forgotten, and then it won’t say anything at all Picture Quote #1

In Angels in America, I got to fulfill a lifelong dream. I was in the air eight nights a week for two years, and I just loved it Picture Quote #1

Here in America, every single actor, since they were little boys, they sing and dance and perform like angels. We don’t do that. We are actors who work in a theater in very classic performances or plays Picture Quote #1

I have, over the years brought an enormous number of plays to television starting obviously with Nicholas Nickelby and then things like Angels In America or in Wit with Emma Thompson and Mike Nichols. So, yes, I do find that very interesting and I’m sure that down the road there will be plays that I’ll want to do that way Picture Quote #1

I took ‘Grease’ to play my trump card, my voice, and get attention that would lead to auditions for serious work like ‘Angels in America.’ But I backed myself into a corner with ‘Grease,’ and it took me 17 years to get out Picture Quote #1

I grew up when one of America’s greatest black playwrights, August Wilson, was writing about life in Pittsburgh, but I never saw myself in any of his straight-male plays. And then I see ‘Angels,’ which was so honest and painful, and it had this black drag queen in it, Belize, with a big heart. I finally had a character to relate to Picture Quote #1

I’m nervous about the prospects of an America that refuses to abide by its best conscience and its best lights and its best angels Picture Quote #1
