Rehearsals Quotes - BrainyQuote

Dance should not just divide people into audience and performers. Everyone should be a participant, whether going to classes or attending special events or rehearsals.

Dance People Special Events

I've done films where we don't rehearse, and I've done films where we heavily rehearse. I like rehearsals.

Matthew McConaughey

Done Like Where Rehearse

You know, Nirvana used to start rehearsals with the three of us just jamming. For, like, a half an hour, just noise and freeform crap - and usually it was crap. But sometimes things would come from it, and some songs on Nevermind came from that, and 'Heart Shaped Box' and stuff on 'In Utero' just happened that way.

Heart You Sometimes Way

Artie travels all the time. The rehearsals were just miserable. Artie and I fought all the time. He didn't want to do the show with my band; he just wanted me on acoustic guitar.

Me Time Guitar Want

The first time I found out that 'Boo'd Up' went platinum, I was handed the plaque. They really surprised me. I thought we were gold, and then Mustard and my managers brought the plaque to my rehearsals and told me. I was like, 'You are lying!' Like, I couldn't believe it. I'm just honored, honestly. It's a great feeling.

Me Time You Believe

Rehearsals are for gags.

I miss that process of getting the script and reading it and working on it. Every actor has their own way of memorizing their lines, and the whole process of starting to work with the other actors and the director, and doing rehearsals, and going to the location, and going through wardrobe.

Work Way Reading Doing

Rehearsals are one of my favourite things in the world.

World Things Favourite

It's a humbling thing, having kids. One of my sons came to rehearsals, and now he says Daddy's job is 'go play loud music.'

Music Job Go Play

I write in the booth and memorize in rehearsals.

I have a photograph at home of Fred Astaire from the knees down with his feet crossed. It's kind of inspiring because it reminds me his feet were bleeding at the end of rehearsals. Yet when you watch him, all you see is freedom. It's a reminder of what the job is about in general, not just being in musicals.

Freedom Me Home You

Most of the great directors I've worked with - De Palma, Spike Lee - like rehearsals.

Great Like Most Directors

Rehearsals make a huge difference.

Difference Make Huge Huge Difference

I mean, a lot of time rehearsals are taken up with other things other than preparing a character.

Two pieces of advice for young composers: Go away during technical rehearsals. And do not have a back operation.

Andrew Lloyd Webber

Go Back Advice Two

Rehearsals and screening rooms are often unreliable because they can't provide the chemistry between an audience and what appears on the stage or screen.

Chemistry Stage Audience Because

I prepare myself for rehearsals like I would for marriage.

Myself Marriage Like Prepare

I find theatre easier than films, because it gives you an environment of a dark hall, the audience concentrating with you... whereas, film sets are not conducive to long rehearsals, and it is difficult to pick up the emotions amidst all that is going on around you.

You Long Dark Emotions

I grew up being into sports and I wasn't trained to move my body in the right way for dancing. I'm the last one to get any moves correct. In rehearsals it's always, 'OK, one more take for Zac.'

Sports Way Body Always

I always check my harness before I do a stunt; I test-drive the cars I have to race or explode; I'm present at all pyrotechnical rehearsals; and I walk through everything step-by-step. No man should put their life in someone else's hands unless they have covered their own safety from all angles.

Life Man Walk Hands

All they teach you in drama school is how to do stage fights and be a pain in rehearsals.

You Pain School Drama

I wasn't into anything at school. I used to get really embarrassed. I used to get asked to do performing things, and I'd go to all the rehearsals, and then I'd pretend to be ill on the day I had to actually perform. I was very unhappy at school.

Day School Unhappy Pretend

When you did impressions on 'MADtv,' the producers gave you a Walkman that played huge sections of whatever movie was being parodied, with your character's catchphrases recorded on a loop. You'd wear this thing around during rehearsals and for a week listen to the voice you had to impersonate over and over again. It drove all of us crazy.

Character You Crazy Voice

I don't really think about dance except just before rehearsals start. I put it off. I don't live my life thinking about dance.

Life My Life Dance Thinking
