“You make the money in movies and TV so you can do theater.”
Charles Durning

“In theater when you do a comedy, you rehearse for a few weeks and you begin to feel the rhythm. In film it's an arbitrary rhythm usually that has to look like a truthful one to work.”
Austin Pendleton

“I think film is a world of directors. Theater is a world of actors.”
Diego Luna

“Stage is the ultimate test; I like watching established screen actors on stage to see if they can really do it. But it's great to have a healthy mixture of the two. Film is so technical: there's something very particular about the relationship between you and the camera. It took a long time for me to get good on film.”
Lesley Manville

“- Carl Denham: I keep telling you, Jack, there's no money in theater. That's why you should stick with film.
- Jack Driscoll: No Carl, it's not about the money. I love theater.
- Carl Denham: No you don't. If you really loved it, you would've jumped.”
