A Quote by John Lithgow

I like to rehearse and rehearse and have everything exactly calculated before we start shooting - probably to a fault. — © John Lithgow
I like to rehearse and rehearse and have everything exactly calculated before we start shooting - probably to a fault.
I don't do a lot of rehearsal. I don't like rehearsals. I rehearse the day or morning. I spend one hour and a half with all the actors, and we go over the scenes, and we change it and change the dialogue, and we do a lot of things to it, but prior to shooting, I don't really rehearse.
My background with Cummings was rehearse, rehearse, rehearse, but Tuesday liked to walk in and do the scene. I must say that she was really wonderful. Aggravating, but wonderful.
There's stuff I don't like to rehearse, really emotional things, I don't like to rehearse. You just beat it to death.
I once did a role which I couldn't rehearse in my street clothes, I had to have the character's costume on before I could rehearse it. I just couldn't think as the character unless I looked like him, or I knew that I looked like him.
I guess I'm used to TV where we don't really rehearse. You block it out, and then you just start shooting.
I don't rehearse a lot. I try to keep it organic. Even in movies, the less I rehearse, the better I am.
If I'm going to rehearse, I don't necessarily rehearse in costume.
In theater, you get to rehearse several weeks, you memorize everything, and by the time you open, you know what the play is. In film, it's almost the opposite. You do your work on your own and maybe have a couple of minutes to rehearse. When the camera rolls, you generally don't know what's going to happen.
I like to rehearse a lot. Before I hit the stage, I listen to the songs that I would perform and make sure I execute everything.
I don't rehearse on either of my shows, 'Family Feud' or my talk show. I never rehearse with the guests. I don't want to have any preconceived thoughts, notions, because that kills my creativity as a host and as a stand up.
On stage, you rehearse for five weeks, and it goes out to 300 people. In 'EastEnders,' you get ten minutes to rehearse, and seven million people watch it!
Stage acting is for me the basic form of acting. If you make films all the time, you have so few possibilities to rehearse. And it's important to rehearse, because it gives you the possibility to try things which are not good!
I like to rehearse before blocking.
I've done films where we don't rehearse and I've done films where we heavily rehearse. I like rehearsals.
I've done films where we don't rehearse, and I've done films where we heavily rehearse. I like rehearsals.
Rehearse death. To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. He is above, or at any rate, beyond the reach of, all political powers.
