All the real work is done in the rehearsal period.
Donald Pleasence

But it was not possible to do this movie, in this matter of time, without a solid rehearsal period.
Debbie Allen

Certainly from the rehearsal process with Elizabeth I think it was very clear. Well let me start again. We were initially supposed to be more combative.
Jennifer Beals

During the rehearsal process I got thrown off the horse.
Julie Benz

For a London play, rehearsal time would be four weeks for the entire show. In films, I'd spend six weeks on the big dance numbers to get them perfect before the actual shooting.
Jessie Matthews

For me, making the show work was getting belly laughs - like most variety artists. But the straight actor believes you fix your performance in rehearsal and that's it.
Ron Moody

George M. is where I met my dear friend Joel Grey. We connected at rehearsal one day during a five-minute break. We were both looking out the same window and we knew in five minutes that we'd made a connection.
Bernadette Peters

I always treat each take as a rehearsal for the next take. That way you can find stuff and keep adding and playing until they tell me to stop.
Martin Landau

I demand minimal for paid rehearsal and not always six weeks either.
William Hurt

I demanded two weeks of rehearsal because to me as an actor, that's the most important time.
Christine Lahti

I design my shots. I walk the rehearsal as the camera and say 'this is where I want to be... I want this look.
Debbie Allen

I did quite a lot of the arranging, fitting different sections together, tempo changes, all sorts of things like that. I actually acted as a bridge between Robert and Ian. Not so much composing, rather presenting musical ideas at each rehearsal.
Michael Giles

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.
Bruce Beresford

I gather from a lawyer that there was a rehearsal yesterday. We haven't a hope. I know the presiding judge too: I've had the misfortune to sleep with his wife. He was specially picked.
Alphonse Karr

I had panic attacks during rehearsal. There were times when I really thought I wasn't going to be able to do it.
William Petersen

I have a big family and had to move them all from the coast of Oregon to New York three times for the workshops and for the actual production itself, which had about a four month development rehearsal schedule.
Gregory Harrison

I have directed good actors and have gone through the process which is more detailed in theater in a way. You have to get people to stay for two or three hours in a performance. They need more talk and rehearsal than in films.
Julie Taymor

I have three daughters and I find as a result I played King Lear almost without rehearsal.
Peter Ustinov

I love the rehearsal process in the theatre, and the visceral sense of contact and communication with a live audience.
Judd Nelson

I need six weeks of rehearsal and women need nine months and it took me 15 years to figure that out.
William Hurt
