In the theater, you go from point A to point Z, building your performance as the evening progresses. You have to relinquish that control on a film.
Gwyneth Paltrow

The adrenaline of a live performance is unlike anything in film or theater. I can see why it's so addictive.
Gwyneth Paltrow

I firmly believe lyrics have to breathe and give the audience's ear a chance to understand what's going on. Particularly in the theater, where you have costume, story, acting, orchestra.
Stephen Sondheim

The oldest form of theater is the dinner table. It's got five or six people, new show every night, same players. Good ensemble; the people have worked together a lot.
Michael J. Fox

The problem was to sustain at any cost the feeling you had in the theater that you were watching a real person, yes, but an intense condensation of his experience, not simply a realistic series of episodes.
Arthur Miller

I think now that the great thing is not so much the formulation of an answer for myself, for the theater, or the play-but rather the most accurate possible statement of the problem.
Arthur Miller

In the theater, while you recognized that you were looking at a house, it was a house in quotation marks. On screen, the quotation marks tend to be blotted out by the camera.
Arthur Miller

The theater is so endlessly fascinating because it's so accidental. It's so much like life.
Arthur Miller

I'm the end of the line; absurd and appalling as it may seem, serious New York theater has died in my lifetime.
Arthur Miller

TV is like theater. You can't enjoy it without a program.
Walter Annenberg

I have so much respect for people in the theater. You can't do 10 or 15 takes. It's all live. It's like life in motion.
Puff Daddy

I do it because I love acting, I love working, and whether it's radio, television, films, theater, I don't care as long as I can get out there and do it.
Joan Collins

If you really want to help the American theater, don't be an actress, dahling. Be an audience.
Tallulah Bankhead

There's a kind of dynamic quality about theater and that dynamic quality expresses itself in relation to, first of all, the environment in which it's being staged; then the audience, the nature of the audience, the quality of the audience.
Wole Soyinka

But theater, because of its nature, both text, images, multimedia effects, has a wider base of communication with an audience. That's why I call it the most social of the various art forms.
Wole Soyinka

There's something about the theater which makes my fingertips tingle.
Wole Soyinka

Well, first of all I'll say that I come alive best in theater.
Wole Soyinka

Cinema should make you forget you are sitting in a theater.
Roman Polanski

To me, theater is the mecca; if you really love to act, that's where it's the most fun, by a long shot.
Scott Caan

The talent that I was blessed with was really for the theater.
David Hasselhoff
