I'm so familiar with what Malcolm X wrote at certain stages of his own life and development.
I tend to be very relaxed on stage, but the nerves have to come out somehow.
I had a toy theater and a magic lantern, and when I was eight I built a stage for theatricals in the attic.
Musicals are so expensive to put on the stage that you have to have the backing of a corporate, you have to have Universal Studios or Disney or somebody to put in the money.
because the theater lost a Barrymore every time a Southerner decided not to go on the stage, just about anything that comes out of a Southern mouth is bound to be a ringing line.
The stage is near and dear to me.
War is a stage brought about by the standardizing of thought, revolt, and life - not by the freedom of life, not by the revolt of life.
Other people have suggested that I write about teens because I'm perpetually stuck in that stage of my own development. That could very well be true. I would throw out that teens and tweens are just absolutely fabulous and the most interesting people on the planet. And it is a time of high drama, and everything matters.
Who I am on stage is very, very different to who I am in real life. But I don't see that having a sexy image when you are on stage means that you don't love God. No one knows what I'm really like from that. I like to walk around with bare feet and I don't like to comb my hair. I'm always so glammed up and so diva on stage and that's what they see. People don't understand that No one knows my personal relationship with God and it's not up to me to prove that to anyone.
I never tried to stage, to fabricate an image.
I've always wanted to perform on the London stage.
I would have stage-fright if I had to speak with every one of the people before whom I speak.
I trained as a stage actor and was given a lot of technical tools to play with.
On stage I just have to be myself. In acting you have to be so many other people.
Working in the studio is a more personal experience whereas on stage in front of a billion people, its more exciting performing live.
He is in a constant state of stage fright, he says, because he never knows what part of his life he is going to have to act in next
Prancing around on stage is not the entire purpose of my life.
I had a real stage school voice and I could do loud things, but it's not about being loud, it's about sensitivity and subtlety in music. You can do so much more with a quiet voice than with a belter.
I know some people are like "I'm depressed and I'm a struggling artist" and that really works for some people, but that doesn't work for me. I have to be really happy, even when I'm writing my depressing songs; I have to come through that stage before I can write. I have to be in a good place. I'm a positive person.
We are not what we seem. We are more than what we seem. The actor knows that. And because the actor knows that hidden inside himself there's a wizard and a king, he also knows that when he's playing himself in his daily life, he's playing a part, he's performing, just as he's performing when he plays a part on stage.
