Musical Theater Quotes (page 2)

The best literature is always a take [in the musical sense]; there is an implicit risk in its execution, a margin of danger that is the pleasure of the flight, of the love, carrying with it a tangible loss but also a total engagement that, on another level, lends the theater its unparalleled imperfection faced with the perfection of film. I don’t want to write anything but takes. Julio Cortazar
When I was a teenager, I began to settle into school because I'd discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater. Morgan Freeman
I had all the normal interests - I played basketball and I headed the school paper. But I also developed very early a great love for music and literature and the theater. Carlisle Floyd
People whose understanding and taste in literature, painting, and music are beyond question are, for the most part, ignorant of what is good or bad art in the theater. Minnie Maddern Fiske
In theater and dance, I was trying to win someone's approval, trying to get in, trying to be good. It felt out of my control, whereas music suddenly felt like this free expression. It was fun. Susanna Hoffs
I had an older brother who was very interested in literature, so I had an early exposure to literature, and and theater. My father sometimes would work in musical comedies. Francis Ford Coppola
Does art have a future? Performance genres like opera, theater, music and dance are thriving all over the world, but the visual arts have been in slow decline for nearly 40 years. No major figure of profound influence has emerged in painting or sculpture since the waning of Pop Art and the birth of Minimalism in the early 1970s. Camille Paglia
I was chomping at the bit to get my career started - so after I took all the theater courses at Brooklyn College I enrolled in a two year program at AMDA in the city (The American Musical Dramatic Academy) I was there for 6 months and loved it. Didi Conn
So, through all that early professional career I would occasionally do a musical, a pantomime or a play with songs. The next stop would be a Shakespeare, or an Ibsen, or a play by a brand new writer who had never done anything in the theater before. Trevor Nunn
Jessica Hagedorn quote: "I'm preparing for a multimedia theater piece, Airport Music,..."
I'm preparing for a multimedia theater piece, Airport Music, that's coming up in New York City. Jessica Hagedorn
I love the theater as much as music, and the whole idea of getting across to an audience and making them laugh, making them cry - just making them feel - is paramount to me. Stephen Sondheim
Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theater, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It can change the world. Alan Rickman
We were raised without movies, theater or music. We had only nature, the hills, the trees. When I got on the set of 'Manon,' I wasn't star-struck because I didn't know what a star was. Emmanuelle Beart
I've learned that in the theater the story is everything. Every lyric, every line and every musical gesture has to propel the journey of a given character or the overall plot. Trey Anastasio
