I prefer film to the stage. I always like the rehearsal better than I like performing.
Brad Dourif

I really love the process, with stage, of rehearsal, you get to create a character, and you have a beginning, a middle, and an end of story. And in television, you don't.
Sasha Alexander

I really miss the rehearsal process of theater.
Kurtwood Smith

I snapped my fingers all through it. Sometimes I set my own tempo during rehearsal by doing that.
Tennessee Ernie Ford

I tend to arrive in the rehearsal process with very strongly developed ideas about what I want to do. But I don't like those ideas to be things that are not subject to change, or subject to development, or subject to challenge.
Trevor Nunn

I was a ballet dancer and that kind of bled into musical theater. I was constantly in rehearsal for one thing or another.
Jennifer Garner

I would rather play Hamlet with no rehearsal than TV golf.
Jack Lemon

I'm not one to dwell on rehearsal or preparation.
Patrice Leconte

I've been onstage once for one performance with four days' rehearsal.
Anna Friel

If Broadway shows charge preview prices while the cast is in dress rehearsal, why should restaurants charge full price when their dining room and kitchen staffs are still practicing?
Marian Burros

In terms of the series, we worked separately, getting together in rehearsal to beat out the material.
Bruce McCulloch

In theater, you have a rehearsal period and you know just who to be.
Marcia Gay Harden

It is a lot cheaper to spend eight hours in a rehearsal hall than in a recording studio.
Jim Messina

It's exciting to do something like this because usually what happens in theater is that, after the first or second reading of a play, it falls apart completely and the rehearsal process is such that you begin to pick up the pieces and put it back together again.
Treat Williams

It's exciting to see a kid at a rehearsal meeting with someone who seems like such an icon.
Michael Ritchie

James Ivory comes close to the actors for the first rehearsal. He more or less lets you direct yourself and then will only correct you if he finds it incorrect.
Leslie Caron

Johnny was great in the studio; he was there to make the music that he wanted to make. We lived right beside each other and had a rehearsal studio that was just ours, with nobody else using it, it was part of Johnny's house, so we could rehearse every day.
Rick Derringer

Life is definitely not a rehearsal, this is it.
Mike Watt

Life is not a dress rehearsal.
Rose Tremain

Nobody could dissapear to their trailer once it was up and running, you were all there on the same stage. It was 10 days of rehearsal and 10 days of shooting, which was very tiring.
Julian Sands
