I'm very serious about becoming a dramatic actor. I don't want to play cameo parts walking on as Carl Lewis the athlete. I want to go on stage or screen and be taken seriously.

Carl Lewis

The most dramatic moves I have made as an actor have been from stage to screen and from sitcom to drama.

Jasika Nicole

You just have to re-wire your brain when you're shifting from the stage to the screen or the silver screen or the HD flat screen.

Beau Willimon

You just have to re-wire your brain when you’re shifting from the stage to the screen, or the silver screen or the HD flat screen.

Beau Willimon

It's a really good format to have, to go back to theatre and build yourself as an actor. I think it's a great skill to go from screen to stage.

Aneurin Barnard

It took me years to actually get comfortable on the stage. I prefer the intimacy of screen; it comes easier to me. In theater, you have to be louder and bigger - that was harder for many years in my teens. But now I've conquered that. I eat up the stage. I love it.

Aileen Quinn

It's a very different thing when you're able to read something and see it in your mind, then to imagine it on screen. It's emotional transference that you don't have in literature that you have in movies. People invest in the person they see on the screen and they can't shift gears.

Jonathan Mostow

I think comedy's harder to pull off on the screen than on the stage, anyway. Tragedy is easier on the screen... oddly enough.

Sam Shepard

I've found acting on stage much more challenging than on screen.

Elizabeth McGovern

It's not a natural translation, transition, to take something from stage to screen. Onstage your action is communicated through the spoken word primarily, and on screen it's communicated through pictures. So it's always been kind of unnatural to take something that lives on the stage and turn it into moving pictures.

Tracy Letts

I have played Dracula a thousand times on stage and I find I have become thoroughly settled in the technique of the stage and not of the screen.

Bela Lugosi

I've gotten a little superstitious about listening to music when I write. Once a story is going somewhere, I keep listening to the same music whenever I work on that story. It seems to help me keep in voice, and alternatively, if I need to make some kind of dramatic shift, I'll go and put on something different to shake myself awake...

Kelly Link

What I do on stage, you won't catch me doing off stage. I mean, I think deep down I'm still kind of, like, timid and modest about a lot of things. But on stage, I release all that; I let it go.
