Our job is to make manifest the story, to be it. In a sense, the theatre is such a big star itself, bigger than any Shakespearean actor I could hire, that we should take the opportunity to fill it with voice and verse and movement, not interpretation.
Mark Rylance

I've always tried to not let movie, television or theatre be all that my life is about. I've always tried to get involved in the community or my family now I have kids.
David Morse

I got into theatre very early, so yes I was surrounded by gay people quite early and frequently.
Judith Light

I have done every job in the Theatre apart from wardrobe. I was out of work more times than I was in it.
Richard O'Brien

I started using film as part of live theatre performance - what used to be called performance art - and I became intrigued by film.
Mike Figgis

We talk about theatre museums filled with old costumes and things. What we also need is a theatre museum of the old routines on videotape. We are only the custodians of those techniques, and they should be preserved.
Jim Dale

I've directed enough in the theatre and a couple of films to know that - to feel fairly secure that if I find a story that I really like I can probably get it done somewhat.
Gary Sinise

My dream is to eventually open a children's theatre.
Moira Kelly

I feel that David took a risk with me. I have a sense that by starting off in the theatre and going off to do films you are seen to sell out in some way. I don't hold truck with that, but you can't stop people from feeling it.
Julia Ormond

It was in New York, and I've always wanted to film in New York. And the writer was a teenage friend of mine. We did youth theatre together when we were 16 and always had a dream of making a film together. And ten years later, we've done it. So it's great.
Rosamund Pike

I started off in a small theatre performance company and worked my way into commercials.
Devon Sawa

But I loved the theatre and I was just doing theatre 24/7 and kept dropping courses because I didn't have the time and the chancellor thought that wasn't a good idea after awhile.
Mandy Patinkin

Kerri and I met at theatre camp when were 16 years old, which is pretty lame. The rest of us met when we founded the State at New York University in 1988. Most of our adult lives have been spent bickering with these people.
Thomas Lennon

To maintain one's individuality, integrity, and true personality in the theatre is a big task.
Cyril Cusack

I feel that I communicate best when I am not deliberately being linear. Along this same line, I feel some of the best sermons I've ever heard were in the theatre rather than the pulpit - as, for example, in the Theatre of the Absurd.
Malcolm Boyd

There was no real fringe theatre in London until way after the war, so either a play was done secretly with a club licence or it was done openly and had to be assessed along with everything else.
Timothy West

It's a real leveller, you know, to do theatre at least once every two years.
Brenda Blethyn

Having started out in theatre, I feel an impulse to do it as much as I can.
Cillian Murphy

I grew up wanting to be a writer for theatre.
Christopher Durang

I sometimes think that theatre is a torture.
Juliet Stevenson
