It wasn't until I went to college that I met the theatre people and began to admire them because they were learning a trade that was guaranteed to make money!

Yes it is a rehearsed show yes it was analogy of going to see a play at the theatre where everything has to be in place and whole things everything being works all works together to get the best effect you know it's more like an actor learning a part.

I've gotten to go wonderful places meet interesting and intelligent people and I started of course in the theatre and continue to work in the theatre where there is some intelligence involved in it.

Look at a football field. It looks like a big movie screen. This is theatre. Football combines the strategy of chess. It's part ballet. It's part battleground part playground. We clarify amplify and glorify the game with our footage the narration and that music and in the end create an inspirational piece of footage.

I've been acting my whole life. I have this huge imagination! I'm a dancer and my mom's a dance teacher and I was always performing and entertaining people. I'd go to see live theatre or a movie and I'd become the main character for a few days afterwards. I loved being somebody new for a temporary amount of time.

People know that they're going to see something which is entertaining but challenging as well because of the form it's in. It's dance theatre and it requires you to use your imagination - it's not straight forward.

With the theatre your whole day is geared towards the evening's show and that's the job. People usually go to work about 9 and come home around 5 or maybe 7.

In the theatre people talk. Talk talk until the cows come home about journeys of discovery and about what Hazlitt thought of a line of Shakespeare. I can't stand it.

Part of what I enjoy about the theatre and acting is that sense of history.

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.

But men must know that in this theatre of man's life it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers on.

I come from the New York theatre world and I have a lot of gay male friends so this friendship of Will and Grace's isn't such a stretch.

Choosing to be in the theatre was a way to put my roots down somewhere with other people. It was a way to choose a new family.

It is brilliant going to the theatre and being forced to sit and listen and think about life. It can be almost a near-religious experience.

I think theatre is by far the most rewarding experience for an actor. You get 4 weeks to rehearse your character and then at 7:30 pm you start acting and nobody stops you acting with your entire soul.

I had great faith in Irish actors that they'd be hip to the whole theatre thing and they are. I had no illusions of coming over here as some kind of big shot. It's been a learning experience for me too.

I did a play called Throne of Straw when I was 11 at the Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles. It became really clear to me at that point that I enjoyed acting more than any other experience I was having.

Memory is not an instrument for exploring the past but its theatre. It is the medium of past experience as the ground is the medium in which dead cities lie interred.

Feudal societies don't create great cinema we have great theatre. The egalitarian societies create great cinema. The Americans the French. Because equality is sort of what the cinema deals with. It deals with stories which don't fall into 'Everybody in their place and who's who ' and all that. But the theatre's full of that.

My father made sure that I had lots of levels of education - from ballroom-dancing to painting commando training theatre and magic.

Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths pure theatre.

I have never seen a game's graphics look so sharp and clean. The sound design for the game is also unique on the Xbox. The memory on this system allowed us to provide the user with 5.1 Dolby surround sound for home theatre owners.

I was very interested in theatre mostly in stage design. I did a little bit of acting.

Whenever I'm in theatre situations I will go out of my way not to talk about my father but in the film world I can be really proud of my family and say 'You know what: my dad's a really really famous theatre director ' because nobody has any idea.
