Favorite Theatre Performance Quotes

1. "I don't rehearse films as much as opera or theatre. When I began directing films I thought a long rehearsal was a good idea. Experience showed me that the best performance was often left in a rehearsal room."
Author: Bruce Beresford
2. "I've never been a really big fan of theatre. I don't know why. It's so much for effort. It's much more difficult for me than stage acting just because of the pressure that's piled on you and you have to learn the entire performance by heart."
Author: Callan McAuliffe
3. "Her Majesty to the theatre. The performance took place on a stage erected in the courtyard, and Her Majesty closed in one part of her veranda for the use of the guests and Court ladies. During the performance I began to feel very drowsy, and eventually fell fast asleep leaning against one of the pillars. I awoke rather suddenly to find that something had been dropped into my mouth, but on investigation I found it was nothing worse than a piece of candy, which I immediately proceeded to eat. On approaching Her Majesty, she asked me how I had enjoyed the candy, and told me not to sleep, but to have a good time like the rest. I never saw Her Majesty in better humor. She played with us just like a young girl, and one could hardly recognize in her the severe Empress Dowager we knew her to be."
Author: Der Ling
4. "I started off in a small theatre performance company and worked my way into commercials."
Author: Devon Sawa
5. "A theatre receives recognition through its initiative, which is indispensable for first-rate performances."
Author: Franz Liszt
6. "The voices of moral authority in the theatre demanded only punctuality and physical performance. In the light of continuing pressure and stress, the occasional lip service paid to moderation was meaningless. Starvation and poisoning were not excesses, but measures taken to stay within the norm."
Author: Gelsey Kirkland
7. "I go to the theatre expecting to have a good time. I want each play and performance to take me somewhere. Naturally, this doesn't always happen."
Author: John Lahr
8. "I like the ephemeral thing about theatre, every performance is like a ghost - it's there and then it's gone."
Author: Maggie Smith
9. "I started using film as part of live theatre performance - what used to be called performance art - and I became intrigued by film."
Author: Mike Figgis
10. "I arrive at the theatre four hours before the beginning of the performance. I must get accustomed to the hall even if I know it well."
Author: Mireille Mathieu
11. "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."
Author: Peter Cushing
12. "He seems, in manner and rank, above the class of young men who take that turn; but I remember hearing them say, that the little theatre at Fairport was to open with the performance of a young gentleman, being his first appearance on any stage.—If this should be thee, Lovel!—Lovel? yes, Lovel or Belville are just the names which youngsters are apt to assume on such occasions—on my life, I am sorry for the lad."
Author: Walter Scott

Today's Quote

Jump way back to one time, Evie and me did this fashion shoot in a junk yard, in a slaughterhouse, in a mortuary. We'd go anywhere to look good by comparison, and what I realize is mostly what I hate about Evie is the fact that she's so vain and stupid and needy. But what I hate most is how she's just like me. What I really hate is me so I hate pretty much everybody."
Author: Chuck Palahniuk
