“A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it.”
Alfred Hitchcock
“You don't merely give over your creativity to making a film -- you give over your life! In theatre, by contrast, you live these two rather strange lives simultaneously; you have no option but to confront the mould on last night's washing-up.”
Daniel Day-Lewis
“Now I'm seen by more people in one episode than I was in 20 years of theatre and movies. It's gratifying to have an impact on 25 million people a night, but I can say goodbye to my lunch-pail life as a working actor. I'm scared I might be a celebrity.”
William Petersen
“Movies are a complicated collision of literature, theatre, music and all the visual arts.”
Yahoo Serious
“Film is fragmented and gets into lots of other people's hands. There are a lot of pleasures that theatre gives me. You get to perform uninterrupted.”
Willem Dafoe
“Originally, we started the Minor Theatre … with the hopes that it would generate money and support the production of film. That was really the purpose of doing the Minor.”
David Phillips
“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.”
