Rehearsals Quotes

Comedy is not funny. Comedy is hard work and timing and lots and lots of rehearsals Picture Quote #1

I don’t do a lot of rehearsal. I don’t like rehearsals. I rehearse the day or morning. I spend one hour and a half with all the actors, and we go over the scenes, and we change it and change the dialogue, and we do a lot of things to it, but prior to shooting, I don’t really rehearse Picture Quote #1

During rehearsals I am confronted by things very mysterious. I have terrific fights with inner demons, and it’s more painful than it ever was Picture Quote #1

It’s a humbling thing, having kids. One of my sons came to rehearsals, and now he says Daddy’s job is ‘go play loud music.’ Picture Quote #1

I’m quite the nagger too. I nag at the others when their chatting makes our rehearsals finish later than scheduled Picture Quote #1

I never seem to know what's going on... Right from the very start, my life has been strange. I think I know what happened... I must have missed all the rehearsals Picture Quote #1

I’ve done films where we don’t rehearse, and I’ve done films where we heavily rehearse. I like rehearsals Picture Quote #1

Fantasies are more than substitutes for unpleasant reality; they are also dress rehearsals, plans. All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination Picture Quote #1

It was amazing that during rehearsals, without any of the costume on, the character was there complete. It just happened. Half the time, I didn’t know I was doing it Picture Quote #1

If I produce it, I will stage it as a performance. A small audience will be invited; rehearsals of the sections will be done in the mornings, and those sections will be recorded in the afternoons Picture Quote #1

Winter testing is essential but there comes a point where you have had enough of all the rehearsals and the pretend racing. You just want to get down to the real action Picture Quote #1

I love rehearsing because in rehearsals there are no mistakes, nothing is wrong, some things apply or lead you to focus on the character and the things that don’t apply are equally valuable because they lead you to towards what does Picture Quote #1

My education was doing good plays and also stinkers. When you do a stinker, you learn how to act. I like having to audition. It’s nice to do rehearsals. But it’s with an audience that you get to love it! Picture Quote #1

Rehearsals and screening rooms are often unreliable because they can’t provide the chemistry between an audience and what appears on the stage or screen Picture Quote #1

The virtue of dress rehearsals is that they are a free show for a select group of artists and friends of the author, and where for one unique evening the audience is almost expurgated of idiots Picture Quote #1

I’m not someone who enjoys long talks, long rehearsals. I’m very technical: I tell my actors, you come in, you sit down, you pick up a coffee, you look here, you say the line. We try it with the cameras rolling, and if it doesn’t work, we adjust it until it does. It’s very simple Picture Quote #1

The great myth is the manager as orchestra conductor. It’s this idea of standing on a pedestal and you wave your baton and accounting comes in, and you wave it somewhere else and marketing chimes in with accounting, and they all sound very glorious. But management is more like orchestra conducting during rehearsals, when everything is going wrong Picture Quote #1

During rehearsals I am confronted by things very mysterious. I have terrific fights with inner demons, and it’s more painful than it ever was Picture Quote #1

I think that sometimes in theater, I don’t prepare much beyond going to the rehearsals Picture Quote #1

I’m very fast on teaching guys. Like, when I came over here, I only had two rehearsals with the band. I wondered when I first got here... But it sure came up great Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t into anything at school. I used to get really embarrassed. I used to get asked to do performing things, and I’d go to all the rehearsals, and then I’d pretend to be ill on the day I had to actually perform. I was very unhappy at school Picture Quote #1

The life of any musician really doesn’t fall into a normal schedule at all. Every week there are different rehearsals, different days and nights of performances, so we don’t have a particular pattern that we can follow. For a conductor, it is a little bit worse because we have to allow for traveling Picture Quote #1

I’ve worked with actors who treat the first two takes like rehearsals. And that’s okay. If the camera is on you and we’re doing a scene where I’m off camera, I’m treating that as a rehearsal Picture Quote #1

The truth is that I don’t like rehearsals. I get embarrassed hearing my own work. I assume that the cast is embarrassed to sing the stuff Picture Quote #1

To me, it’s my job not to laugh, no matter what’s said. By the time we shoot, I’m ready for all that’s coming. I probably do most of my breaking in rehearsals, when I know that I can Picture Quote #1

In film, I find it very useful always to do some preparation before you start rehearsals or start shooting, because there’s so much that’s against you on a film set Picture Quote #1

Artie travels all the time. The rehearsals were just miserable. Artie and I fought all the time. He didn’t want to do the show with my band; he just wanted me on acoustic guitar Picture Quote #1

All they teach you in drama school is how to do stage fights and be a pain in rehearsals Picture Quote #1

I mean, a lot of time rehearsals are taken up with other things other than preparing a character Picture Quote #1

There are these rare moments when musicians together touch something sweeter than they’ve ever found before in rehearsals or performance, beyond the merely collaborative or technically proficient, when their expression becomes as easy and graceful as friendship or love. This is when they give us a glimpse of what we might be, of our best selves, and of an impossible world in which you give everything to others, but lose nothing of yourself Picture Quote #1
