Richard Eyre Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Richard Eyre:

A place makes a deep impression on you when you're young. It lives with you. It's like your childhood. It fertilises the imagination.

What we hold in our heads - our memory, our feelings, our thoughts, our sense of our own history - is the sum of our humanity.

Richard Eyre

The arts are weapons of understanding and weapons of happiness.

Richard Eyre

Change begins with understanding and understanding begins by identifying oneself with another person: in a word, empathy. The arts enable us to put ourselves in the minds, eyes, ears and hearts of other human beings.

Richard Eyre

'Mary Poppins,' the movie, was an object of mockery if you were a student in the '60s, something to be laughed at.

Richard Eyre

I've always believed that you write to discover what you think. On most subjects, if I'm asked what do I think about them, I'd say I don't know, I'll have to write them down.

Richard Eyre

I resent all organised religions.

Richard Eyre

The desire to share is not a vague, windy sentiment, not when you see the massive rise in live concerts in response to the phenomenon of downloading music... People want to get rid of the headphones and be part of a shared experience.

Richard Eyre

Everything people say about grandparenthood is true - it is pleasure without responsibility. It is unquestioned love.

Richard Eyre

Maybe we slip so easily into blaming our parents - you're perpetually a child and they're perpetually a parent and you long to balance the equation, but it can only be balanced posthumously.

Richard Eyre

I am interested in the gap between what people say and what they think - the undiscovered world of people's lives. Lives of quiet desperation.

Richard Eyre

I envy the happiness of others... I envy the sense of belonging... I seem always to be remaking myself.

Richard Eyre

Balance is the enemy of art.

Richard Eyre

A place makes a deep impression on you when you're young. It lives with you. It's like your childhood. It fertilises the imagination.

Richard Eyre

Governments have always been wary of the arts because they're wayward and ambiguous and because they deal with feelings rather than facts.

Richard Eyre

I've always argued, unsuccessfully, that there's no point in giving money to the arts unless you educate people in them.

Richard Eyre

All good actors are very bright. You can't be stupid and a good actor. You may be inarticulate, you may not be highly educated, but all good actors are quick-witted, some of them dazzlingly so. All you do is guide them.

Richard Eyre

You can't be minimalist as a director until you have acquired the experience and confidence to say no.

Richard Eyre

Theatre is castigated for wallowing in self-indulgence, but it's curiously unsentimental. You simply have to move on. Everything passes. Something in me likes that.

Richard Eyre

I have a worm's eye view and a bird's eye view simultaneously and it's immensely helpful to understand what is happening on the shop floor when you are harnessing many talents and telling an intimate story on a large scale.

Richard Eyre

I'm wary of artistic directors who say, 'Here is my vision', because it's empirical. Basically it's about who you work with and what plays you put on; the vision comes out of that.

Richard Eyre

I sort of feel that climate change will be solved by science. I just feel instinctively that we will find a way of saving ourselves. But I am less confident that we won't destroy ourselves in other ways.
