Roger Rees Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Roger Rees:

I thought acting was just going on and remembering all of one's lines.

It doesn't seem Shakespeare works if you turn him into a religion.

Roger Rees

You got paid on Friday, go for a late-night poker game, and have no money on Saturday. But the RSC took your rent out of the paycheck, so at least you had a place to sleep.

Roger Rees

Anything I do is as theatrical as I can get it.

Roger Rees

Sometimes I think I'll go off and be a milkman or a greengrocer, some easy job.

Roger Rees

All this thing that L.A. doesn't have any love for the theater isn't true.

Roger Rees

I was at a pretty rough school, and the only thing I was good at was art.

Roger Rees

More people saw me in one episode of 'Cheers' than would ever see me in a play.

Roger Rees

I was an art student when I was a boy, and as an art student you don't have to talk to anyone - you just have to paint really wonderful paintings. It's very unlike being an actor, where you have to talk all the time.

Roger Rees

No lens is quick enough to track the movement of the human body. The molecules are always moving.

Roger Rees

They said my voice was terrible, nervous, and spotty and that I must go away and learn how to use it properly. I must admit I was rather agape, since I had never thought about making my voice better.

Roger Rees

I love to argue and share bright ideas in a rehearsal room, and when you live with somebody who is working on the same show, the delight can go on all evening!

Roger Rees

Rattigan's world demanded unwavering trust in principles, loyalty, and virtue. At the time of this play - Rattigan was writing this play in 1947 about an incident that took place in 1914 - should a boy say he didn't do something, his father would believe him; a British father would take the defense of his son's honor to his grave.

Roger Rees

I love to see people blossom.

Roger Rees

Exercising choice is a good thing.

Everything happens every night for this audience, and it's a very special occasion to come to the theatre.

Roger Rees

I do one thing Gielgud didn't: I play the ukulele.

Roger Rees

Now, when I talk about Shakespeare, I can't talk too much about Gielgud or Olivier. Because nobody knows who I'm talking about.

Roger Rees

The whole point is it's about getting as many people to come and see the play as you can.

Roger Rees

My neighborhood in South London was very Dickensian.

Roger Rees

My first acquaintance with 'Peter Pan' was back when I lived in South London. I was at art school, and I needed to earn money, so I got a job as a stagehand at the Wimbledon Theatre, and 'Peter Pan' was on tour there with Donald Sinden, who was playing Captain Hook.

Roger Rees

I don't think perfection is possible. I think you can attempt to reach perfection, but I don't think it's a possible thing. I think perfection is a moving point, and we spend our artistic lives chasing it.

Roger Rees

I just do what I'm asked, really.

Roger Rees

I was a skinny 17-year-old.

Roger Rees

Rattigan wrote some very good plays.

Roger Rees

The loser, the fool, is embraced in England because there is a recognition of silliness there that allows a person to keep his ambitions and desires at a certain distance. Just being in the race is enough.

Roger Rees

I've often thought I'm a short music hall comedian stuck in a leading man's body.

Roger Rees

I joined the Royal Shakespeare Co. with no experience whatsoever - I'd never been to a drama school or anything. But I was strong and could lift things, I could move scenery about.

Roger Rees

I thought acting was just going on and remembering all of one's lines.

Roger Rees

What I strive to do is to make the theater experience something that people remember and recall rather than dismiss because it was less like their everyday experiences. So, I'm less interested in internal emotionalism and much more in making the audience laugh and cry by the devices that we use as theater actors.

Roger Rees

Now, of course, we know there has been an end to apartheid in South Africa, but what excited me was seeing it in the context of history.

Roger Rees

I used to be the voice of Virgin Atlantic in America, and some people only know me for that.

Roger Rees

That's been the tragedy of my life, actually. I've always looked younger than I am.

Roger Rees

Even Shakespeare gives you a scene off.
