Theatre Quotes

Certainly, nothing would stop me coming home for Christmas, if I can. But I’ve worked a lot in theatre, and in theatre in New York, we work Christmas Day a lot of the time as well Picture Quote #1

Three years ago, the white hope of the theatre. Today, a mug. That’s New York for you. Puts you on a Christmas tree, and then - the alley Picture Quote #1

One of my beliefs is that there are certain institutions within a community which stand for the spirit and heart of that community, there’s the church, the local football team, the local pub and the theatre Picture Quote #1

If I’m in theatre, cinema doesn’t even cross my mind. Similarly when I’m making a film, theatre doesn’t cross my mind Picture Quote #1

My interest in theatre and storytelling began in my mother’s kitchen. It was a meeting place for my mother’s large circle of friends Picture Quote #1

Starting my career in London was no accident because the city and the industry here are all about theatre and drama, and I respond well to that Picture Quote #1

I got into this thing called the National Youth Theatre, and to me, that was all about the status quo. It seemed to me like ‘Downton Abbey’ - all the working-class and black people were playing servants, or the gravedigger in ‘Hamlet,’ and the boys from Eton and posh private schools got Hamlet, all the big roles Picture Quote #1

I’m the classic example of alienation: I grew up in a middle-class household without art or books. I was going to be a chemical engineer until I went to the theatre for the first time at 16 and was blown away by it Picture Quote #1

Theatre probably originated without texts, but by the time we get to the classical Greek period, theatre has become text-based Picture Quote #1

I’m always keeping an eye out for a period piece. I was trained in theatre, so most of the things we did were classical - Shakespeare, Moliere, and Chekhov Picture Quote #1

When I was 16, I played Macbeth at school and my English teacher said, ‘I think you may have acting talent. Try to get into the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain and see where you get.’ I wouldn’t have thought of that at all. I wanted to be a surgeon, but I wasn’t a clever man Picture Quote #1

When I used to do musical theatre, my dad refused to come backstage. He never wanted to see the props up close or the sets up close. He didn’t want to see the magic Picture Quote #1

I remember when people actually wore coats and ties to theatre every night. They don’t anymore. It’s very different Picture Quote #1

I was five when I did my first show with the Mountain Play Theatre company in Marin County. I started young, and since no one in my family was involved in the industry in any way shape or form, I think everyone thought I’d do a few plays and that would be it. But then I kept doing it Picture Quote #1

It’s cold out there, colder than a ticket taker’s smile at the Ivar Theatre on a Saturday night Picture Quote #1

Having learnt my basics in theatre, I always feel film is a collaborative effort. If you do your part well and help the person in front of you in realising his or her potential, the film invariably comes out good Picture Quote #1

Theatre, when it is at its best, takes a lot of beating - the live experience and the shared collective experience of live storytelling is really special when it is good. Particularly here in New York because the audiences are amazing, very vocal and very engaged, and that makes theatre very exciting Picture Quote #1

I used to do a lot of serious theatre during my school and college days. Comedy was only reserved for youth festival and inter-college competitions. Then once ‘The Great Indian Laughter Challenge’ was launched, a regional channel in Punjab started a program based on that. I participated in it and emerged as the winner Picture Quote #1

It wasn’t until I went to college that I met the theatre people and began to admire them because they were learning a trade that was guaranteed to make money! Picture Quote #1

I deliberately look for colorful people. They’re very right for theatre. Theatre has to be theatrical. If you can get color into the accountant, you’ve got something. Write the whole thing first and then say he’s an accountant. That’s a very wacky accountant, but so what? Theatricality feeds and challenges the actor, the director, and the designers 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

The theatre, which is my most comfortable place, unfortunately it’s very hard to make a living in 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

My second husband encouraged me to go to a writing group at our local theatre. It was my ‘coming out of the closet’ moment Picture Quote #1

I love to act, so the only way I could act was through community theatre and they would just do musicals. My musical upbringing was show-tunes and it sucks and I have been trying to get away from it ever since Picture Quote #1

I did a lot of community theatre and met a manager that worked out of Philadelphia, and she started sending me up to New York for auditions, and I got the part in a play at Manhattan Theatre Club when I was 15 Picture Quote #1

I think the paparazzi is a necessary evil... and if ya don’t like it, and ya don’t want to do this, go to Iowa and do some community theatre. It’s all about self-promotion, and it’s not always the fun part of it 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

I was a bit odd as a kid, because there were so little outlets for me. There was no theatre except for the odd community theatre and school shows. The only movie theatre was at the Canadian Forces Base nearby in Comox, so it either showed kiddie flicks for the families and restricted stuff for the men Picture Quote #1

I’ve always tried to not let movie, television or theatre be all that my life is about. I’ve always tried to get involved in the community or my family now I have kids Picture Quote #1
