All the real work is done in the rehearsal period.
In the vain laughter of folly wisdom hears half its applause.
People who don't know me have opinions about me. That's the part that's very hurtful. Because how do you form an opinion about somebody if you've never met them or spent any time with them? So it's all based upon hearsay or things that they've read.
Who hears me who understands me becomes mine a possession for all time.
Hide nothing for time which sees all and hears all exposes all.
If there's no fire there's no scream. If there's no scream then no one hears you and no one comes to help you in the first place. The depth of my struggle has definitely determined the height of my success. To be able to teach my kids not just about success but about the struggle that comes with it.
I grew up being into sports and I wasn't trained to move my body in the right way for dancing. I'm the last one to get any moves correct. In rehearsals it's always 'OK one more take for Zac.'
Who ever hears of fat men heading a riot or herding together in turbulent mobs? No - no your lean hungry men who are continually worrying society and setting the whole community by the ears.
The phrase 'off with the crack of the bat' while romantic is really meaningless since the outfielder should be in motion long before he hears the sound of the ball meeting the bat.
If a man does not keep pace with his companions perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears however measured or far away.
Who hears music feels his solitude peopled at once.
Listen there are some movies that are set in stone and the writer or the director does not want to change but I've never worked on a movie including my own that didn't take advantage of a rehearsal process.
I don't rehearse a lot. I try to keep it organic. Even in movies the less I rehearse the better I am.
You can't work in the movies. Movies are all about lighting. Very few filmmakers will concentrate on the story. You get very little rehearsal time so anything you do onscreen is a kind of speed painting.
It's a privilege to serve the poor to be servants of noble Africans but I better belong in the rehearsal room or in the studio with my band. That's where I want to be and I still wake up in the morning with melodies in my head.
A play is much easier to maintain your personal life with because if you're rehearsing you're working like from 11 to 6 or 11 to 5 and you get to have your whole morning and your whole evening. When you're doing the play you have all day.
I prepare myself for rehearsals like I would for marriage.
