“I do not like to call myself a Liberal, because there is so much that is wrong with liberalism. I also do not like to call my a Conservative for exactly the same reason. The fact that the theater of conservativism today seems to be such a haven for such an abundance of small minded, non-thinking, irrationalists is however making it very difficult for me to not adopt a harder stance.” ThinkingReasonFactsSeemsTodayPoliticsDifficultHavensHarderTheaterConservativeAbundanceLiberalismStanceSmall Minds Author:Derek R.

“I went to this massive co-ed school for the first time when I was 16. Everyone there had been together since elementary school, and I found it quite difficult, especially when I'd never stepped into a classroom with boys. So I started looking out in the community for a social outlet. I started getting involved in student films and community theater. Acting began as a hobby.” FirstsSchoolTogetherFilmFoundSocialDifficultCommunityActingBoysStudentsInvolvedFirst TimeTheaterMassiveClassroomHobbiesOutletsElementary School Author:Holland Roden

“For my entire career, I wanted to be a director. When I was in the theater, it was very difficult to get directing jobs, and I fell into the acting by default. I got in the habit of accepting whatever came my way. Not things that I disagreed with, though.

“I think any filmmaker will tell you when they wandered from theater to theater to watch their prints, it was disheartening to see the poor levels of light and the disrespect for films that existed in certain theater chains. It was always inconsistent. And in the lab, too, the photochemical process was very difficult to watch, because sometimes they were shipping prints that you didn't even know were two points off or three points off. We suffered greatly to make these films, and they'd be out-of-focus, with the sound too low.” ThinkingKnowsTwoSometimesLightFilmCertainThreeProcessDifficultSoundPoorLevelsWatchesFocusLowsTheaterChainsFilmmakerPrintDisrespectLabsInconsistentShippingDisheartening Author:Oliver Stone
“When you're dealing with a symbol in a realistic play, it is also a realistic fact. You must expect the audience's mind to work on both levels, symbolically and realistically. But we're trained so much in pure, realistic theater that it's difficult for us to handle things on two levels at the same time.” MindTwoPlayFactsDifficultLevelsAudiencePureTheaterHandleSymbolsRealistic Book:Conversations with Edward Albee Source: Conversations with Edward Albee
“Theater of Cruelty means a theater difficult and cruel for myself first of all. And, on the level of performance, it is not the cruelty we can exercise upon each other by hacking at each other’s bodies, carving up our personal anatomies, or, like Assyrian emperors, sending parcels of human ears, noses, or neatly detached nostrils through the mail, but the much more terrible and necessary cruelty which things can exercise against us. We are not free. And the sky can still fall on our heads. And the theater has been created to teach us that first of all.” FirstsHumansMeanHas BeensStillsBodyFallDifficultLevelsTeachSkyTerribleExercisePerformancesEarsTheaterTheatreCrueltyNosesMailEmperorDetachedAnatomyHackingParcelCarvingAssyrians Book:The Theater and Its Double Source: The Theater and Its Double
