I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.
Oscar Wilde
What is a wife and what is a harlot? What is a church and what is a theatre? are they two and not one? Can they exist separate? Are not religion and politics the same thing? Brotherhood is religion. O demonstrations of reason dividing families in cruelty and pride!
William Blake
I think theatre should always be somewhat suspect.
Vaclav Havel
It's one of the tragic ironies of the theatre that only one man in it can count on steady work - the night watchman.
Tallulah Bankhead
You really, really, really have to love what you are going to do in theatre because it is an unmerciful life. It's six days a week. It's eight performances a week. And that's doing the exact same thing over and over and over again.
Harvey Fierstein
Also, if you want to reach people, theatre is not always the best way to do it.
Harvey Fierstein
But men must know, that in this theatre of man's life it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers on.
Francis Bacon
In contrast, the control you have in a theatre is very attractive to me.
Judi Dench
A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it.
Alfred Hitchcock
Yeah, well I've always played comedy. My background is musical comedy theatre and that's really where my training is. As an actor, that's my training.
Christopher Walken
My playground was the theatre. I'd sit and watch my mother pretend for a living. As a young girl, that's pretty seductive.
Gwyneth Paltrow
I have the terrible feeling that, because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theatre, you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats, not Mount Sinai.
Orson Welles
The good die young but not always. The wicked prevail but not consistently. I am confused by life, and I feel safe within the confines of the theatre.
Helen Hayes
I've done both theatre and film and the fact is if you start believing, if you start reading things and they're good reviews - you believe that and you're lost, and then you read bad reviews and you think that's true and you read that and you're lost.
Jenny Agutter
The pit of a theatre is the one place where the tears of virtuous and wicked men alike are mingled.
Denis Diderot
The truth, the absolute truth, is that the chief beauty for the theatre consists in fine bodily proportions.
Sarah Bernhardt
For the theatre one needs long arms... an artiste with short arms can never make a fine gesture.
Sarah Bernhardt
The theatre is the involuntary reflex of the ideas of the crowd.
Sarah Bernhardt
When I come into the theatre I get a sense of security. I love an audience. I love people, and I act because I like trying to give pleasure to people.
Vivien Leigh
I think any classical training in the theatre is of enormous value.
Vivien Leigh
