Cameron Mackintosh Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Cameron Mackintosh:

I've spent more money on my theatres since I bought them than I did buying them.

I survived because I never took on big responsibilities in my private life. In the early days, I lived on two or three pounds a week and learned to cook - and I'm a good cook - because I had to. Even when I went on holiday, I stayed in other people's houses.

I don't like being in debt, and I wouldn't borrow money for anything.

Cameron Mackintosh

I don't watch a lot of television.

Cameron Mackintosh

I've never had a very great public life.

I think the worst thing that could have happened to me would have been having a hit at 20. I don't know what that would have done to me. But instead, I had to scrape a living for years. And my first show, which opened in 1969, lost over £45,000, an absolute fortune then.

Two of my theatres are 1930s and the other five are by Sprague, the greatest Edwardian architect of the lot. They've needed a lot of work doing to them but they were built very well.

I never know what is going to have that 'X' factor and what isn't.

Cameron Mackintosh

I love architecture almost as much as I love my musicals.

Cameron Mackintosh

I'm proud of the fact that I've taken a lot of big directors, such as Trevor Nunn and Nick Hytner, who were musical virgins, and introduced them to the form.

I am in that glorious position where I can redesign and re-package my own work.

Constrained circumstances can bring the best out of you.

Cameron Mackintosh

Sometimes, thinking on your feet can be the most creative. Constrained circumstances can bring the best out of you. Some of the most successful shows come out of shoestring invention.

Cameron Mackintosh

Having a think about whether you can afford 'this' or 'that' is a good discipline to have, to maximise what you can achieve to the highest standard.

Cameron Mackintosh

Audiences aren't going to get rid of me. One thing I can say, with absolute certainty, is that my shows will still be performed when I'm dead, buried and forgotten. They're going to absolutely outlive me, which is a wonderful thing to think about.
