“One thing I'm a big fan of is the theater of the absurd. That's what I come from, that's what I love to do more than anything. What I love about absurdity is the words "comedy" and "drama" get thrown out the window and it's just life, which is absurd.” BigsComedyOne ThingFansDramaWindowTheaterAbsurdThrownAbsurdity Author:Michael Shannon
“The love, support, and respect the members of the theater community have for one another is unparalleled. Say what you want about us wacky drama-types, but one thing that makes our business special is our loyalty, our fierce commitment to one another, and our mutual respect.” WantCommunitySupportOne ThingSpecialTypeDramaMembersCommitmentTheaterWhat You WantLoyaltyMutualFierceMutual RespectWacky Author:Monica Raymund
“I think everybody should act! I would encourage everybody to do one thing, join a theater class or something. It's so good to take a character that you think is wildly different from who you are, and to try to relate to that person and become that person is very helpful. It's hard to articulate what you learn, but you can feel the effect of these characters that you play and take with you.” ThinkingFeelsShouldTryingPersonsDifferentHardPlayCharacterClassOne ThingEffectsTheaterWho You AreRelateHelpful Author:Ryan Gosling
“When I started in the theater, the joy for me was playing different parts, and I get set alight by different people and different worlds. The biggest joy for me is jumping around and going from that to this to that, never feeling that I'm any one thing - because I'm not, and we as people aren't.” PeopleWorldDifferentFeelingsJoyOne ThingTheaterJumpingDifferent PeoplesDifferent Worlds Author:Clive Owen
“I don't understand why we have to experiment with film. I think everything should be done on paper. A musician has to do it, a composer. He puts a lot of dots down and beautiful music comes out. And I think that students should be taught to visualize. That's the one thing missing in all this. The one thing that the student has got to do is to learn that there is a rectangle up there - a white rectangle in a theater - and it has to be filled.” ThinkingShouldDoneBeautifulFilmWhiteOne ThingMissingStudentsTaughtPaperMusicianTheaterDown AndFilledExperimentsComposerDotsBeautiful MusicRectangles Author:Alfred Hitchcock
