If Broadway shows charge preview prices while the cast is in dress rehearsal, why should restaurants charge full price when their dining room and kitchen staffs are still practicing?
Marian Burros
Home is a place not only of strong affections, but of entire unreserved; it is life`s undress rehearsal, its backroom, its dressing room, from which we go forth to more careful and guarded intercourse, leaving behind...cast-off and everyday clothing.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.
Leonardo da Vinci
It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.
Joseph Stalin
If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.
George MacDonald
I was seen as an outsider in the beginning and then an object of great envy. All the national directors wanted to be international. They would come up to me and say, If I cast Michael Caine and Sean Connery, do you think this will make it?" There was this...
Mira Nair
I remember getting cast in Amistad and getting this very strong feeling that I had overshot myself. It was a great shock. It made me realize that this is not a profession you can predict; that you can have all these ambitions and expectations and that the...
Chiwetel Ejiofor
(on being typecast) If you look at the careers of people like Anthony Quinn, Cagney, even Tommy Lee Jones, they all were cast as villains. There comes a certain point in your life, in your late 30s, early 40s, when suddenly that can change. Maybe a direct...
Robert Davi
[after The WB channel canceled the series, causing hurt feelings among the cast and crew -- hurt which was dramatized in the finale] "We put a lot of that heartbreak into the script, into the show, so it would hurt as much to watch as it did to have it ta...
Joss Whedon
When I get cast, I always flip to the end of the script to see if my character gets beaten up or killed. I really thought that after getting killed on The Sopranos" (1999) I should not accept scripts where I die. I mean, there`s nowhere to go after gettin...
Steve Buscemi
Other people disagree with me, but Scent of a Woman really was my breakthrough. I was working in the prepared foods section of a deli when I was cast in that movie, and I`ve never had a non-acting job since. That`s amazing.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
I`m mostly cast as the Lolita type, either a blonde bombshell Lolita, or the girl-with-black-hair-who-smokes-weed Lolita. Either way, I`m inevitably the sexpot.
Kelli Garner
[from an article with the cast of "Can`t Hardly Wait"] "I was home-schooled. But going to high school I never would`ve been able to travel the US or been able to do acting."
Ethan Embry
I like to do something I fear. I like to set up obstacles and defeat them. I like to be afraid of the project. I always am. When I get cast in something, I always believe I shouldn`t have been cast. I fooled them again. I can`t do it. I don`t know how to ...
Heath Ledger
I like to do something I fear. I like to set up obstacles and defeat them. I like to be afraid of the project. I always am. When I get cast in something, I always believe I shouldn`t have been cast. I fooled them again. I can`t do it. I don`t know how to ...
Heath Ledger
You have to be careful not to be upstaged by your breasts. I`ve gotten curvier as I`ve gotten older. Directors cast the men they want to be and the women they want to have.
Susan Sarandon
When you get to speak Irish, you become more at one with yourself, you kind of have a spark when you use it, and I think it`s a great dialect. When they first cast me, I was a pretty avid fan of vampire movies and Celtic mythology, so I was excited to get...
Glenn Quinn
When asked who was the better kisser on ER: "All my cast-mates want to know that! They were both special in their own way [laughs]. John and his stubble gave me a rash. With Shane, it was more gentle and smooth. The funniest moment was directly after kiss...
Parminder Nagra
I had been watching Home and Away for quite a while, so joining the cast was quite weird. The show is so fast-paced and at first it was overwhelming but at the same time was quite laid back
Indiana Evans
I was in New Zealand for a long time and preparing for fight sequences - all of these kind of elaborate things. And the more I did that stuff the further we were getting away from why they cast me and what was true of Arwen. And we all realized that. . An...
Liv Tyler
[Talking about shooting a TV show] "Sometimes it can be really stressful. But that`s where it`s important to have a close cast working together. On our show - Michelle, Katie, Josh and I get along really well. We all started together - and we back each ot...
James Van Der Beek
[in 1994 interview, on how she got cast in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987)] I did it because, frankly, I couldn`t get any other work then. I liked the show, so I asked if I could be on it. As a matter of fact, I asked twice. The first time, I sent...
Whoopi Goldberg
I haven`t been directed by a woman. I`d love to be; it would make a big difference. Often as an actress you can feel very alienated, especially if you are playing the female lead in a male-dominated cast and environment. It`s very hard to feel relaxed, to...
Naomie Harris
A restaurant is a fantasy-a kind of living fantasy in which diners are the most important members of the cast.
