“My most enjoyable movie going experiences have always been going to a movie theater, sitting there and the lights go down and a film comes on the screen that you don't know everything about, and you don't know every plot turn and every character movement that's going to happen.” KnowsCharacterLightHappensFilmTurnsMovementSittingTheaterDown AndScreensPlotEnjoyableMovie Theater Author:Christopher Nolan
“It's hard for me to play seated theaters because people tend to sit down and get a little bit complacent, so it's less energy. It's just very dry and dead. People start to feel like they're watching a movie. The environment when they walk into it, it's not standing room only, smoking and drinking and rock 'n' roll. So it's a little bit dangerous to do that.” PeopleFeelsLittlesHardPlayEnergyBitsWalksRoomsEnvironmentRocksDangerousLittle BitStandingTheaterDown AndDrinkingDrySmokingRock N RollComplacentDead PeopleSmoking And Drinking Author:Jack White

“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
“I changed my major to English and I went off to Fort Collins. And within the first couple of weeks, I noticed that they were having auditions for a production in their theater department. They were going to stage Jean Anouilh's Becket, which was a film I loved, with Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton. So I went down and auditioned, and I got the role. I got the Peter O'Toole part. So here I was, a 19-year-old playing King Henry.” YearsFirstsFilmRolesWeekStageChangedCoupleKingsMajorsTheaterDown AndProductionsDepartmentPeterAuditionsFortsKing Henry Author:Keith Carradine
“If I had my brothers I think with just a little bit of the correct marketing, I'd like to be almost exclusively in small theaters. You know, to me it's like a church for music.

“Well, I go to the theater today, and its curtain - there is no curtain in this play; the lights go down and go up - and we start. And I live this character for two hours.
