Live Theatre Quotes

I started using film as part of live theatre performance - what used to be called performance art - and I became intrigued by film. Mike Figgis
I always thought that it was every performer's dream. That's the epitome of being an artist, being able to express song, dance and acting in a live theatre setting and really connecting with an audience on that level. Deborah Cox
I came to write after several mini careers. I did live theatre, managed a cosmetics store and was a local television personality. Sandra Brown
We need to be virtually bludgeoned into detachment from our daily lives, our habits and mental laziness, which conceal from us the strangeness of the world. Without a fresh virginity of mind, without a new and healthy awareness of existential reality, there can be no theatre and no art either; the real must be in a way dislocated, before it can be re-integrated. Eugene Ionesco
They must go out of the theatre with the strength they live by strengthened from looking upon some passion that could, whatever its chosen way of life, strike down an enemy, fill a long stocking with money or move a girl's heart. William Butler Yeats
He stared to sea. "I gave up all ideas of practicing medicine. In spite of what I have just said about the wave and the water, in those years in France I am afraid I lived a selfish life. That is, I offered myself every pleasure. I traveled a great deal. I lost some money dabbling in the theatre, but I made much more dabbling on the Bourse. I gained a great many amusing friends, some of whom are now quite famous. But I was never very happy. I suppose I was fortunate. It took me only five... John Fowles
I was naturally a loner, content just to live with a woman, eat with her, sleep with her, walk down the street with her. I didn't want conversation, or to go anywhere except the racetrack or the boxing matches. I didn't understand t. v. I felt foolish paying money to go into a movie theatre and sit with other people to share their emotions. Parties sickened me. I hated the game-playing, the dirty play, the flirting, the amateur drunks, the bores. Charles Bukowski
Oscar Wilde quote: "It was only in the theatre that I lived."
It was only in the theatre that I lived. Oscar Wilde
Jonathan Frid quote: "The best theatre I've done, I've done right here in this..."
The best theatre I've done, I've done right here in this living room. Jonathan Frid
I don't really know Hollywood, but living and shooting in L.A. was very motivating, inspiring. The lights, the extras, their American faces, the energy, the Orpheum Theatre. It was all very inspiring. Jean Dujardin
Then I left school at 16 and worked in Perth Repertory Theatre, which was quite nearby where I lived. And I worked there for about six or seven months, as part of the stage crew. Ewan McGregor
Gwyneth Paltrow quote: "My playground was the theatre. I'd sit and watch my mother..."
My playground was the theatre. I'd sit and watch my mother pretend for a living. As a young girl, that's pretty seductive. Gwyneth Paltrow
All the best performers bring to their role something more, something different than what the author put on paper. That's what makes theatre live. That's why it persists. Stephen Sondheim
Kerri and I met at theatre camp when were 16 years old, which is pretty lame. The rest of us met when we founded the State at New York University in 1988. Most of our adult lives have been spent bickering with these people. Thomas Lennon
If you're interested or like it, but could be just as happy living in a regular town, having a regular job, maybe doing little theatre, you're better off and you'll be a happier person. This is too gut-wrenching and heartbreaking. Delta Burke
