Play Writing Quotes (page 2)

I write plays because writing dialogue is the only respectable way of contradicting yourself. I put a position, rebut it, refute the rebuttal, and rebut the refutation. Tom Stoppard
I didn't always want to act. My passion was writing, and it still is one of my primary passions to this day, but it wasn't until high school when I started acting in plays that it became a thought of something I might want to do. And when I applied to colleges, at NYU, I was able to study both writing and acting. Bryce Dallas Howard
You shouldn't even be writing this story if you haven't heard me play live. You can't write with the passion you receive until you see a Dick Dale concert. Dick Dale
No matter how many times people say it - 'Oh, I'm just writing this for myself' 'Oh, I'm just doing this for myself' - nobody's doing it for themselves! You're doing it for an audience. So whether I'm performing or writing a book or playing music, it's definitely to be put out there and to be received in some way, definitely. Steve Martin
Beth Henley quote: "I did write a couple of original screenplays, but I'd rather..."
I did write a couple of original screenplays, but I'd rather write plays. Beth Henley
When I was in fourth grade... this wonderful teacher said you didn't have to write a book report, you could just talk about the book, you could do a drawing of the book, you could write a play inspired by the book, and that's what I did. I got to be so famous. I had to go around to every school and perform it. It was just so natural and fun. Didi Conn
Heather O'Reilly quote: "I keep a journal, and every day I write down one great play..."
I keep a journal, and every day I write down one great play that I had that day. I don't write down any negatives. Heather O'Reilly
I play the piano a lot at home. I write songs on the piano and guitar. I would like to actually play piano on stage. I don't think I'll get the chance for a while. Mick Taylor
When we first started playing we did a lot of rehearsing. We used to write out everything. In fact, that's the way everybody rehearses: we play the tunes and improvise. Charlie Haden
Even when you write it, someone's got to play it. So if you can play it and bypass all the rest of the things, you're still doing as great as someone that has spent forty years trying to find out how to do that. I'm really pro-human beings, pro-expression of everything. Ornette Coleman
After I left Texas and went to California, I had a hard time getting anyone to play anything that I was writing, so I had to end up playing them myself. And that's how I ended up just being a saxophone player. Ornette Coleman
Chuck Mangione quote: "I write music people enjoy playing and listening to, and I..."
I write music people enjoy playing and listening to, and I have a group that loves playing the music. Chuck Mangione
Wole Soyinka quote: "Even when I'm writing plays I enjoy having company and..."
Even when I'm writing plays I enjoy having company and mentally I think of that company as the company I'm writing for. Wole Soyinka
So I started to relax and would work on my act eight hours a day, sitting at a desk writing at my grandmother's house, and I would put on Richard Pryor Live on Long Beach and would play it like a loop and think and write. George Lopez
I'm not in it for the money. I like music. I love to write music. I can't imagine myself not playing or singing or writing. It would just drive me crazy if I didn't. Paul Simon
