#theater

I'm interested in the theater because I'm interested in communication with audiences. Otherwise I would be in concert music. ↗

I had no training in the theater. I did not study it but just did it. ↗

I really would rather have gone to New York, since all my training had been in theater, but I didn't have the guts to go there alone. I knew only one person in New York, and that was a man. What I needed was a woman. That's the way Southern girls thought. ↗

You go to a theater now and you literally see parents watching the movie and they suddenly cover their kid's ears. I figured I'd make one movie where they didn't have to do this. ↗

Television has some lovely aspects to it - and some ghastly aspects - but the theater itself was a wonderful invention. ↗

The primary function of a theater is not to please itself, or even to please its audience. It is to serve talent. ↗

I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act. ↗
