I trained as a classical actor in London for three years. We did Tennessee Williams and dialect and accent classes; they were one of my favorite things to do each week. And we'd strip it down to the phonetics and listen to the sound. It was a really interesting way to look at it all.

Sam Palladio

It's just that the characters are speaking their mind. As opposed to it just being an expression, they're actually saying what's on their mind, and that's something that Tennessee Williams is really famous for. Shakespeare does that and Tennessee Williams does that. You crave that, when you're an actor, for sure.

Bryce Dallas Howard

Talking, being a better talker, wouldn't have been that hard. It was just, I was just naturally gifted at other things.

Sean Waltman

The Talker needs attention. The Talker needs validation. The Talker would rather talk about an idea than confront the complexities, its obstacles. The Talker wants the glory but none of the hard work.

And, I'd never done Tennessee Williams, and I had done Broadway musicals, so it was a challenge.

Lots of people have expressed consternation that I haven't gotten rid of Southern accent, but I just never saw any reason to lose the flavor that I grew up with. I enjoy saying some things with a Southern accent.

Roy Blount, Jr.

I thought I had a pretty good American accent but I had a few sessions with a voice coach over there and she was picking up on a few things. Possibly because I've got such a strong Northern accent, I emphasise the wrong part of words so the idea is to work on my American accent.

Kelvin Fletcher

Tennessee Williams moves my soul.

Zawe Ashton

I want to do a Tennessee Williams play.

Cobie Smulders

'The Glass Menagerie' by Tennessee Williams is a great play. I had to read it for school when I was younger, but I started writing scripts after that. That's what got me into writing.

Jake T. Austin

I love Tennessee Williams; as a playwright, he's so poetic.

I was a lusty kid who loved Tennessee Williams.

St. Vincent

I'm an American playwright. Tennessee Williams got in all our DNA.

John Guare

I came to the plain fields of Ohio with pictures painted by Hollywood movies and the works of Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller. None of them had much to say, if at all, about Dayton, Ohio.
