Theatre Quotes
-
I walked out of the theater and started crying. My wife asked me, 'Why are you crying?' I said, 'Because I can't do that.' I didn't know how he did it. I've never seen anything like that. It's like this feat, this Rodin sculpture to me. It's like hearing an opera singer and the tears go down your face because it's not human what they're doing. It's like sounds of heaven.
Dustin Hoffman

Harvey Fierstein

More and more, acting involves a serious chunk of autobiography and often what we’re talking about is trauma. We long for these experiences in the theatre, for someone to be torn apart in front of us. We always have. Theatre’s at it’s best when it has that, but there are consequences to it.
