“First play I ever did was 'Footloose.' I played the part of Willard when I was 16. I think I wore my drama teacher's jeans and her belt - that's how small I was. I know a lot of Willard's back story from the musical that's not explored in the film. Like he's got this whole relationship with his mama, and he sings this song "Mama Says".” ThinkingKnowsFirstsPlayWholeStoriesFilmSongTeacherDramaMusicalJeansBeltsMamaFootloose Author:Miles Teller

“Ireland is not at all a simple place, and in many ways it is spare and sad. It has no wealth, no power, no stability, no influence, no fashion, no size. Its only real arts are song and drama and poem. But Limerick alone has two thousand ruined castles and surely that many practicing poets.” WayArtTwoRealSongWealthSimpleInfluenceFashionPoetDramaThousandSizeStabilityIrelandSparesRuinedCastlesLimerick Book:The feminine eye Source: The feminine eye
“Take a bunch of little kids to the beach and they all make art. Adults are too stupid to call it art, but it is art. They'll use their imaginations, make drama, make up characters, make pictures in the sand, they'll make up songs that no one's ever heard before. All kids, I think, are creative, but they get it pounded out of them in school.” ThinkingLittlesArtCharacterUseKidsSchoolSongImaginationCreativeHeardStupidDramaAdultsBunchBeachSandLittle Kid Author:Buffy Sainte-Marie

“Being singer is different than being an actor, where you call up sources from your own experience that you can apply to whatever Shakespeare drama you're in. But an actor is pretending to be somebody, a singer isn't. And that's the difference. Singers today have to sing songs where there's very little emotion involved. That and the fact that they have to sing hit records from years gone by doesn't leave a lot of room for any kind of intelligent creativity.” YearsKindLittlesDifferentFactsTodaySongActorsDifferencesRoomsEmotionCreativityGoneRecordsSourceInvolvedDramaIntelligentSingersPretendingYears Gone By Author:Bob Dylan
“I need all kinds of songs - fast ones, slow ones, minor key, ballads, rumbas - and they all get juggled around during a live show.
