Stage Play Quotes (page 4)

People say it's a movie about boxing, but... I don't agree at all. I don't think it's a movie about boxing. Boxing is like a platform. It's just a stage where this is played out. Morgan Freeman
I don't know how it is now but the assistant stage manager had to understudy several parts. You had to be ready to go on at any time if the actor couldn't make it to the play. I didn't think anything of it. Glenn Ford
I think generally playing live is a crap idea. So much of stage work is the presentation of personality, and I've never been interested in that. Brian Eno
I've played villains on stage - you know, the Iagos and so on - but I think of myself as a funny person. I mostly did comedies before I did TV work. Michael Emerson
At the Isle of Wight, the sound went out and kind of kept on going. And I wasn't... when I came off stage I was kind of unhappy about how we had played. But now, I listen back to those recordings and it's not bad. Keith Emerson
The decision to retire was quite an easy one for me because by that stage my knees were so badly gone. If I had been like Martina Navratilova and my body had let me I would have carried on playing a lot longer. Jo Durie
Every time I see a good play or watch a good movie, I have the same feeling I had as a child of wanting to be that person on stage or wanting to run through the forest with a big dress on. Elizabeth Debicki
People were talking while I was playing, so I got up and left the stage. I've gotten to the point where I'm not really very patient with patrons rapping during the show. And the people were all nice and quiet when I cam back. Bruce Hornsby
Rick Danko quote: "I love to play; a stage is a safe place for me to be. It's not..."
I love to play; a stage is a safe place for me to be. It's not that way for most folks, but I'd be lost without it. Rick Danko
I get very nervous whenever I think about it. I've never done a serious play, and I have such awe of the woman - she's really my only idol. It's going to be a big stretch - certain people come out on stage and your face muscles automatically tense and you get ready to smile. Judy Holliday
Talcott Parsons quote: "The part an actor played on stage was once written on a..."
The part an actor played on stage was once written on a separate roll of paper. Talcott Parsons
I think the motion picture industry is a stupid business and I despise acting the scenes in short snatches, one at a time. I hate this film work. I am disgusted with myself. On the stage I could never play a part unless I felt it with all my heart and soul. Conrad Veidt
To me, music shouldn't be ego-driven. When you go out on stage and play songs, it is. But when you're sitting in a room, writing songs, it's a completely different process. It's a completely different place. It's a creative place, a musical place. It has nothing to do with who likes what. Chris Cornell
Oscar Wilde quote: "The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast."
The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast. Oscar Wilde
So what this is is us, our personalities refined down on to a stage performance. In other words, the way we play is the end product of the way we live - we live in the cities, you see. Alice Cooper
