"Acting is a sport. On stage you must be
ready to move like a tennis player on his toes. Your concentration must
be keen, your reflexes sharp; your body and mind are in top gear, the
chase is on. Acting is energy. In the theatre people pay to see energy."
-
Clive Swift

"Theatre exists only because it is
overwhelming, because its acting is astonishing. Where a theatre and its
acting are merely 'good,' merely 'correct,' merely 'in the proper
style,' theatre dies a slow death."
- Robert Cohen

"Great Theatre is about challenging how we think and encouraging us to fantasize about a world we aspire to."
- Williem Defoe

"There
is a certain immortality involved in theater, not created by monuments
and books, but through the knowledge an actor keeps to his dying day
that on a certain afternoon, in an empty and dusty theater, he cast a
shadow of a being that was not himself, but the distillation of all he
had ever observed; all the unsingable heartsong that the ordinary man
may feel but never utter, he gave voice to. And by that he somehow joins
the ages."

"Sin in the theater, I can observe now, is comparable to education in a
university: it is there for those who wish to take advantage of it, but
fewer do than you might suspect.”

Choosing to be in the theatre was a way to put my roots down somewhere with other people. It was a way to choose a new family.

“Theatres are curious places, magician's trick-boxes where the golden
memories of dramtic triumphs linger like nostalgic ghosts, and where the
unexplainable, the fantastic, the tragic, the comic and the absurd are
routine occurences on and off the stage. Murders, mayhem, politcal
intrigue, lucrative business, secret assignations, and of course,
dinner.”

"The word theatre comes from the Greeks. It means the seeing place. It
is the place people come to see the truth about life and the social
situation. The theatre is a spiritual and social X-ray of its time. The
theatre was created to tell people the truth about life and the social
situation."

“The stage is a magic circle where only the most real things happen, a

Theatre artists are essentially sort of charlatans and thieves, I mean that's the tradition that we come from, so I have absolutely no, I make no bones about the fact that I steal from here and I take from there, and we all do it, that's perfectly all right, that's the nothing, there's nothing new in the world, there's nothing actually new in the way that you do something, but the point is is how do you take something and use it to articulate what is essentially a core of any given theatrical production.
