Films take up so much time, and with theatre, you do have to plan a period of time that you can be free.
Mike Figgis

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

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

Then I heard this genius teacher Stella Adler - I recommend you read anything you might find about her and if you have anyone interested in theatre, you get them one of her books.
Harvey Keitel

For me, making films is like being on vacation, it's a nice walk. But theatre is like mountaineering. You never know whether you're going to fall off or make it to the top.
Isabelle Huppert

When the cinematograph first made its appearance, we were told that the days of the ordinary theatre were numbered.
Ivor Novello

Most Americans would agree that Plowshares is a Theatre of the Absurd.
Daniel Berrigan

I tell my children to avoid theatre and go into cinema and TV.
Peter O'Toole

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

My operas and my theatre works are very formal pieces.
Harrison Birtwistle

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 grew up in the theatre. It's where I got my start. Writing a television drama with theatrical dialogue about the theatre is beyond perfection.
Aaron Sorkin

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

I did a little theatre work after that and the following year I got another part in a television series. Then it was almost to the end of the year before I got more work. That was coming to terms with the reality of the vocation I had chosen.
Karl Urban

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

In contrast, the control you have in a theatre is very attractive to me.
Judi Dench
