“The truth of the matter is, every film is imperfect. It's the nature of the beast. One of the things that people ask me all the time is, what's the difference between theater and film, and one of the biggest differences is, in the theater you always get another go.” PeopleMatterFilmAsksDifferencesTheaterAsk MeBeastImperfect Author:Stephen Daldry
“The theater itself is so archaic and old fashioned, that it doesn't really matter to me whether it's on Avenue D or at the Helen Hayes Theater. What's the difference? It's still a very nostalgic form. Also, it means you're knowingly walking into a room where there's actors. I feel it's very embarrassing. Because, you know, they're right there. You always think like, they can see you, and I think it's mortifying, frankly, and I hate to sit near the front, where you feel they actually might see you. It's too ... it's too live.” ThinkingKnowsFeelsMeanStillsMatterMightFormHateActorsDifferencesRoomsFrontsWalkingI HateTheaterEmbarrassingOld FashionedAvenuesNostalgicHelen Author:Fran Lebowitz
“Industrial production, the flow of resources in the economy, the exertion of military effort in a war theater-all are complexes of numerous interrelated activities. Differences may exist in the goals to be achieved, the particular processes involved, and the magnitude of effort. Nevertheless, it is possible to abstract the underlying essential similarities in the management of these seemingly disparate systems.” MayWarProcessGoalDifferencesEffortEconomyMilitaryParticularInvolvedActivityEssentialsResourcesFlowTheaterManagementComplexesProductionsAbstractNeverthelessSimilarityMagnitudeExertion Book:Linear Programming and Extensions Source: Linear Programming and Extensions

“Each form of the acting is different. I think it keeps your mind active. TV, film and theater are different disciplines, as are independent films, opposed to studio films.

“I always think that the difference between film and theater is like the difference between masturbation and making love. Because, in film, you just have to get one moment right; you're practically by yourself.

“I have to say, doing theater, that's what you're trained to do. Doing film, when I first started doing it, felt like something else entirely. It felt like the difference between, I don't know, waiting tables and painting a great work of art. It's night and day. I didn't feel like it was even acting.” KnowsFeelsFirstsArtFilmNightFeltWaitingDifferencesActingPaintingTheaterTablesWorks Of ArtGreat WorkLike SomethingWaiting Tables Author:Viola Davis
“The wonderful thing about the theater is that it can emphasize BOTH our diversity AND our common humanity. In many ways, the world of Shakespeare (or Aeschylus or Racine) is totally different from our world; and yet any human being can look through the differences in dress and mores and discover our common problems, passions, and potentials.” WorldWayHumansLooksDifferentProblemHumanityPassionDifferencesHuman BeingsCommonWonderfulDiversityTheaterDressesOur WorldWonderful ThingsCommon Humanity Author:Howard Gardner

“Well, he's got a much bigger circus to play with, and he has a lot more financing available, and he has a lot more time available. I think that makes a huge difference. I think he instinctively knows how to make films and all the different ways that you can make stuff. He's very gadget-wise, and he's very smart about all the different things that are available to a filmmaker nowadays, and he makes very good use of them. He has a theater in his house, for God's sake. It has proper curtains on it and everything.
