When I was a kid, I wanted to be an actor. I was acting in all the school plays. I went to school for acting. I was really sure that that's what I wanted to do. ~ Aaron Sorkin
School Plays quotes by Aaron Sorkin
I always loved singing. I was always trying to sing in school plays. I was in every one I could be in. ~ Eliza Doolittle
School Plays quotes by Eliza Doolittle
I don't ask for much. I don't ask to be rich, and I don't ask to be famous, and I don't ask to play center field for the New York Yankees. I just want to get married and have a wife, and a house, and I want to have a kid, and I want to go see him be a tooth in the school play! ~ Tom Hanks
School Plays quotes by Tom Hanks
I had to act in a school play when I was about ten years old. I really didn't want to do it. But everyone had to do it so I didn't have a choice. A talent agent came and watched it and later gave me some work. It's funny because I'd always known that I wanted a movie career. I just didn't think that I would be in the movies. ~ Kristen Stewart
School Plays quotes by Kristen Stewart
I go to see my kids in school plays, ... I watched Lorna in a concert at the Westminster College of Music the other day and it was amazing. I felt very proud and surprised. I don't know why I was surprised, because I've known her for 17 years, but I've never seen her do anything like that in front of an audience. It's brave, it's uplifting. ~ Sean Bean
School Plays quotes by Sean Bean
A good place to start initially would be school plays. ~ Sara Gilbert
School Plays quotes by Sara Gilbert
I did some school plays in elementary school, but that was it. ~ Jason Mewes
School Plays quotes by Jason Mewes
I go to see my kids in school plays. ~ Sean Bean
School Plays quotes by Sean Bean
I used to do school plays. I never really took any acting classes. I'm just a natural ham, I guess. ~ Queen Latifah
School Plays quotes by Queen Latifah
Dear Deborah,

Words do not come easily for so many men. We are taught to be strong, to provide, to put away our emotions. A father can work his way through his days and never see that his years are going by. If I could go back in time, I would say some things to that young father as he holds, somewhat uncertainly, his daughter for the very first time. These are the things I would say:

When you hear the first whimper in the night, go to the nursery leaving your wife sleeping. Rock in a chair, walk the floor, sing a lullaby so that she will know a man can be gentle.

When Mother is away for the evening, come home from work, do the babysitting. Learn to cook a hotdog or a pot of spaghetti, so that your daughter will know a man can serve another's needs.

When she performs in school plays or dances in recitals, arrive early, sit in the front seat, devote your full attention. Clap the loudest, so that she will know a man can have eyes only for her.

When she asks for a tree house, don't just build it, but build it with her. Sit high among the branches and talk about clouds, and caterpillars, and leaves. Ask her about her dreams and wait for her answers, so that she will know a man can listen.

When you pass by her door as she dresses for a date, tell her she is beautiful. Take her on a date yourself. Open doors, buy flowers, look her in the eye, so that she will know a man can respect her.

When she moves away ~ Lisa Wingate
School Plays quotes by Lisa Wingate
My mother is European and expresses her love through food and cuddling. She wasn't the type of mother who would make it to school plays or soccer games, but if you wanted to stay at home sick, she was your girl. Whenever you'd go up to her room to cuddle with her, she'd pull out a Kit Kat or Snickers bar from her night table and look at you with dancing eyes. ~ Chelsea Handler
School Plays quotes by Chelsea Handler
I started acting because I enjoyed school plays. ~ Mayim Bialik
School Plays quotes by Mayim Bialik
I wasn't the high-school play queen or anything. And my parents would let not me act until I graduated from college. ~ Gwyneth Paltrow
School Plays quotes by Gwyneth Paltrow
School plays were invented partly to give parents and easy opportunity to demonstrate their priorities. ~ Calvin Trillin
School Plays quotes by Calvin Trillin
I was sort of the class-clown type, and I was also in school plays, and I always liked comedy. ~ Rachel Dratch
School Plays quotes by Rachel Dratch
An example I love: Diwata auditioned for the school play by doing a big number from Once Upon A Mattress. I went home and my boyfriend plunked out the notes for me, and I had to learn and prepare that song just so I could learn and know how that feels. I've never had that kind of detail in a rehearsal process. Jason Moore is absolutely unbelievable. ~ Sarah Steele
School Plays quotes by Sarah Steele
Going to rehearsals of school plays got me out of science. It became clear what inspired me and what dampened my spirit. The only other thing I could do at school was trampolining - it didn't seem to have much future in it. ~ Tamsin Greig
School Plays quotes by Tamsin Greig
At school there was no acting to be had other than school plays which I did now and again. ~ Ewan McGregor
School Plays quotes by Ewan McGregor
If you want to act, do school plays. If they're not there, create them, and the same with local repertory. They are the grounding for a lot of people. Make it happen. ~ William Kircher
School Plays quotes by William Kircher
I got cast in a school play and I fell in love with that. I felt comfortable on stage and found out it was a brilliant way of expressing myself and I was happy and I could do it. ~ Douglas Booth
School Plays quotes by Douglas Booth
My mother had lived in London since I was little, so she never got to see my school plays and stuff. ~ Lauren Graham
School Plays quotes by Lauren Graham
I was one of the only ones there interested in acting. You find when you're doing school plays that a lot of people there were on punishment, or something. ~ Sam Riley
School Plays quotes by Sam Riley
I've always been in school plays and performing monologues and taking drama. Now I'm in acting classes. I do it the real way. I want to be a working actor. I would love that. I just like being on a series and having a script, and I want that to be my nine-to-five. ~ Vinny Guadagnino
School Plays quotes by Vinny Guadagnino
I was always acting. I was doing after-school plays and stuff like that. ~ Justin Theroux
School Plays quotes by Justin Theroux
I became an actor by doing school plays and youth theaters, and then National Youth Theatre of Great Britain. And then I did study at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. For me that was a good way to enter the field, to work in the theater. ~ Chiwetel Ejiofor
School Plays quotes by Chiwetel Ejiofor
I had a stammer through adolescence. Any fun I'd had performing in school plays disappeared and only came back at 18, when the stammer started to go. Then I thought: 'Well, perhaps I can show off now.' ~ Charles Dance
School Plays quotes by Charles Dance
The chances of a child coming through as I did ... the world is too hard. On the other hand, I would always encourage children of mine if they wanted to be in school plays and dance and sing. But I wouldn't put them to work. ~ Shelley Fabares
School Plays quotes by Shelley Fabares
I was always kind of a loudmouth and a class clown, and that kind of led to doing all the school plays and trying out all kinds of different stuff. ~ Dustin Milligan
School Plays quotes by Dustin Milligan
I started really young, like 12 or 13, and then I started doing school plays. We had a really good drama department, so the kind of drama-geek stigma wasn't really there in my high school. ~ Matt Damon
School Plays quotes by Matt Damon
I was terribly shy and never said anything in class. Then I started getting into school plays. When you've got words to say, you've got a sort of armour. ~ Nigel Rees
School Plays quotes by Nigel Rees
Of course I acted in school plays but mostly as angels or mushrooms. ~ Maj Sjowall
School Plays quotes by Maj Sjowall
The first time I did a school play was the first time I felt I was good at anything at all. I just loved it. ~ Olivia Colman
School Plays quotes by Olivia Colman
I've got three sons, and two of them would absolutely hate being on the stage and never liked appearing in their school plays or musicals, but the middle one absolutely loves it and never shows any sign of nerves or pressure and really gets a kick out of performing. I think it depends entirely on the child. And that applies to anything whether it's sport or entertainment or music or film. ~ Piers Morgan
School Plays quotes by Piers Morgan
From the age of four, I loved ballet and tap. I was in the school band, the choir, and all my school plays. ~ Gugu Mbatha-Raw
School Plays quotes by Gugu Mbatha-Raw
I played a heap of snow in a school play. I was under a sheet, and crawled out when spring came. I often say I'll never reach the same artistic level again. ~ Stellan Skarsgard
School Plays quotes by Stellan Skarsgard
I was involved in school plays, but when I left school I did a couple of odd jobs as a baker's apprentice and then as a fruit market porter in Manchester. ~ John Thaw
School Plays quotes by John Thaw
I'd read an enormous amount but had spent so much time in my own head that I didn't have extensive social skills. Suddenly I was in this world where I was surrounded by these incredibly polished and wealthy kids who had gone to prep schools, and I felt daunted by them. I don't think people were aware of how full of anxiety I was ... For a long time I felt like I was living in a place where I shouldn't have been. ~ Dan Chaon
School Plays quotes by Dan Chaon
My mom is very proud of introducing music to all her kids. But I played in some bad rock bands my junior and senior years of high school. ~ Miles Teller
School Plays quotes by Miles Teller
School is not like church.
I know a lot of people in my school are happy about this,
but I think that's because they've known the wrong kind
of churches, the ones that hold back instead of lifting up. ~ David Levithan
School Plays quotes by David Levithan
When you understand that your tax dollars pay for those tear gas canisters that were being fired into the crowd, and when you see that, and to know that a little bit of your fingerprint, your American DNA is a part of that, as well as those stealth bombers and that bomb that's lodged in the side of the school that has "Made in USA" on it in Gaza, and all of the unmanned drones that are blowing up weddings and things of that nature, to know that you pay for that, you really have - you don't have to do it now, but you need to think about that. ~ Lupe Fiasco
School Plays quotes by Lupe Fiasco
I would advise young aspiring theater artists to do as many shows as possible. It doesn't matter if it's in the basement of a church, in school, or in community theater. Do them wherever you can; big parts or small, it doesn't matter. ~ Rob McClure
School Plays quotes by Rob McClure
It can be crazy hard. To keep your faith, to keep going. It can be harder than I ever would have imagined. Sometimes things happen to you, really bad things that aren't fair, things that make you feel so terrible you're not even sure who you are anymore or whether you're right or wrong, good or bad. Sometimes you feel like there's no one to turn to, and you're all alone and so scared you can hardly move and so tired you just want to curl up in a ball and go to sleep forever. I guess that's kind of the way Alex felt that last night I saw him. And that's the way I felt now. But I guess I had one advantage over Alex. I guess in some way I'd been training for this time my whole life. I'd been training every day, even in simple things, little things. I trained to keep my mind sharp when I went to school. I trained in karate to keep my body and spirit strong. Even when I just went to church, or when I prayed by myself, it was a kind of training: I was training to remember that I was not alone. I was never alone. ~ Andrew Klavan
School Plays quotes by Andrew Klavan
School taught me how to do language, maths and science; it failed to teach me the very basics of how to keep my home healthy. ~ Steven Magee
School Plays quotes by Steven Magee
My father died when I was young, and my mother, Ruth, went to work in an office selling theater and movie parties. She put me through private school, Horace Mann, in Riverdale. She sent me to camp so that I would learn to compete. She was a lioness, and I was her cub. ~ Alan Furst
School Plays quotes by Alan Furst
I think boring is a team that plays at home and can not score a goal. ~ Jose Mourinho
School Plays quotes by Jose Mourinho
President Bush and I had asked Congress to appropriate a half-billion dollars to school vouchers. We didn't get it, and we were disappointed. But we did not go out and form a corporation to pay for it. That would have been a problem. ~ Lamar Alexander
School Plays quotes by Lamar Alexander
I don't like the designated hitter. A guy who plays should be able to catch and hit. ~ Marge Schott
School Plays quotes by Marge Schott
Shakespeare's plays were a great Teutonic Valhalla with brilliant sunshine at times and violent tempests at others. The world to him was a battlefield, but his sense of poetic justice, his sublime faith in life and its infinite resources, guided the battles. ~ Bjornstjerne Bjornson
School Plays quotes by Bjornstjerne Bjornson
In the lover's heart is a lute
Which plays the melody of longing.

You say he looks crazy -
That's only because your ears are not tuned
to the music by which he dances. ~ Rumi
School Plays quotes by Rumi
Your mission statement says Galer Street is based on global "connectitude." (You people don't just think outside the box, you think outside the dictionary!) ~ Maria Semple
School Plays quotes by Maria Semple
I really knew nothing about the dancing habits of the Scottish. But I wanted to help. "I could teach them Indian folk dances," I offered, scrounging my mind for school dances in gaudy garments.
"Well, I'm not sure that they would be complex enough for competitions," she said. Pursing her lips, she blushed a dark, deep red. I knew I had said something wrong, but it took me a few days to understand the reason for Miss Manson's disapproval and discomfort. She blushed a beetroot red because I had unwittingly questioned the core belief of the school: British was Better. ~ Nayana Currimbhoy
School Plays quotes by Nayana Currimbhoy
I have a theory that if you've got the kind of parents who want to send you to boarding school, you're probably better off at boarding school. ~ Wendy Cope
School Plays quotes by Wendy Cope
Let's concede that we have decided to let our children grow up in two separate nations, and lead two separate kinds of lives. If, on the other hand, we have the courage to rise to this challenge to name what's happening within our inner-city schools, then we also need the courage to be activist and go out and fight like hell to change it. ~ Jonathan Kozol
School Plays quotes by Jonathan Kozol
In some suburban schools, the curriculum is chock-full of rigorous A.P. courses and the parking lot glitters with pricey SUVs, but one doesn't have to look hard to find students who are starving themselves, cutting themselves, or medicating themselves, as well students who are taking out their frustrations on those who sit lower on the social food chain. ~ Alfie Kohn
School Plays quotes by Alfie Kohn
Sewing on a button, like avoiding eye contact on the subway, is a basic life skill. Along with How to Windex a Mirror and How to Make English Muffin Pizza, sewing on a button was taught in the seventh grade by Miss Almeida in home ec. But home ec isn't on New York school curricula anymore. Home ec has gone the way of health class, where we learned you COULD get it from a doorknob. ~ Patricia Volk
School Plays quotes by Patricia Volk
She nods, turning the silver bangle around on her wrist.
"She came from some village north of here, a few hours away. She traveled all the way to the city just to…"
She trails off, feeling a lump grow in her throat.
"…to take you to that orphanage?" Sanjay finishes for her.
Asha nods.
"And she gave me this."
She slides the bangle back on her wrist.
"They gave you everything they had to give," Sanjay says. He reaches across the table for her hand. "So how do you feel, now that you know?"
Asha gazes out the window.
"I used to write these letters, when I was a little girl," she says. "Letters to my mother, telling her what I was learning in school, who my friends were, the books I liked. I must have been about seven when I wrote the first one. I asked my dad to mail it, and I remember he got a really sad look in his eyes and he said,
'I'm sorry, Asha, I don't know where she is.'"
She turns back to face Sanjay.
"Then, as I got older, the letters changed. Instead of telling her about my life, I started asking all these questions. Was her hair curly? Did she like crossword puzzles? Why didn't she keep me?"
Asha shakes her head.
"So many questions."
"And now, I know," she continues. "I know where I came from, and I know I was loved. I know I'm a hell of a lot better off now than I would have been otherwise."
She shrugs.
"And that's enough for me. Some answers, I'll just have to figure ou ~ Shilpi Somaya Gowda
School Plays quotes by Shilpi Somaya Gowda
I have loved you for years. I have been in love with you for years and years and years ... throughout school and training ... before transitions and afterward ... when you approached me and yes, even now that you're with Saxton and you hate me. And that ... shit ... in my fucking head locked me down, locked everything down ... and it cost me you. ~ J.R. Ward
School Plays quotes by J.R. Ward
I adopted two children, then I got eye disease and five rounds of surgery. I went blind in one eye, then the other eye, and that went on for three or four years. I got very enamored and involved with the theater and did a lot of plays. ~ John Patrick Shanley
School Plays quotes by John Patrick Shanley
Maybe I'm old-school, but I always thought you honor a contract. ~ Brett Favre
School Plays quotes by Brett Favre
Bernard sank into a yet more hopeless misery.
"But why is it prohibited?" asked the Savage. In the excitement of meeting a man who had read Shakespeare he had momentarily forgotten everything else.
The Controller shrugged his shoulders. "Because it's old; that's the chief reason. We haven't any use for old things here."
"Even when they're beautiful?"
"Particularly when they're beautiful. Beauty's attractive, and we don't want people to be attracted by old things. We want them to like the new ones."
"But the new ones are so stupid and horrible. Those plays, where there's nothing but helicopters flying about and you feel the people kissing." He made a grimace. "Goats and monkeys!" Only in Othello's word could he find an adequate vehicle for his contempt and hatred. ~ Aldous Huxley
School Plays quotes by Aldous Huxley
In the strict father model, the "free market" plays a significant, implicit role. The market is a competitive system where the disciplined are rewarded through profit, and the undisciplined (and hence immoral) are punished through poverty. The market is an instrument of morality. ~ George Lakoff
School Plays quotes by George Lakoff
I've always been into theater and movies. When I was in school, I did a monologue for my talent show. I would go to the local theater. I was always in dance. I was always performing. That was always my thing. ~ Odeya Rush
School Plays quotes by Odeya Rush
I never had a real job either. I sort of fell out of school and ended up playing guitar. ~ Vivian Campbell
School Plays quotes by Vivian Campbell
Perhaps this is the root of all evil, that gardeners are not put in charge of our schools. ~ Helen DeWitt
School Plays quotes by Helen DeWitt
Teenage years are hard. And, having taught high school for a number of years, I think they're particularly hard on teenage girls. The most self-conscious human beings on the planet are teenage girls. ~ Rob Thomas
School Plays quotes by Rob Thomas
My earliest memory is of sitting at Mum's dance school, watching her teach a ballet class. ~ Sarah Parish
School Plays quotes by Sarah Parish
When I first got out of drama school, my original manager tried to get me to change my name because people were having trouble spelling it and saying it. ~ Joe Manganiello
School Plays quotes by Joe Manganiello
The poet ... is the man of metaphor: while the philosopher is interested only in the truth of meaning, beyond even signs and names, and the sophist manipulates empty signs ... the poet plays on the multiplicity of signifieds. ~ Jacques Derrida
School Plays quotes by Jacques Derrida
Before his and Pushkin's advent Russian literature was purblind. What form it perceived was an outline directed by reason: it did not see color for itself but merely used the hackneyed combinations of blind noun and dog-like adjective that Europe had inherited from the ancients. The sky was blue, the dawn red, the foliage green, the eyes of beauty black, the clouds grey, and so on. It was Gogol (and after him Lermontov and Tolstoy) who first saw yellow and violet at all. That the sky could be pale green at sunrise, or the snow a rich blue on a cloudless day, would have sounded like heretical nonsense to your so-called "classical" writer, accustomed as he was to the rigid conventional color-schemes of the Eighteenth Century French school of literature. Thus the development of the art of description throughout the centuries may be profitably treated in terms of vision, the faceted eye becoming a unified and prodigiously complex organ and the dead dim "accepted colors" (in the sense of "idées reçues") yielding gradually their subtle shades and allowing new wonders of application. I doubt whether any writer, and certainly not in Russia, had ever noticed before, to give the most striking instance, the moving pattern of light and shade on the ground under trees or the tricks of color played by sunlight with leaves. ~ Vladimir Nabokov
School Plays quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
Home is the first and most important school of character. It is there that every human being receives his best moral training, or his worst; for it is there that he imbibes those principles of conduct which endure through manhood, and cease only with life. ~ Samuel Smiles
School Plays quotes by Samuel Smiles
I don't think drugs are a problem; I think they're a symptom. As long as Americans are empty, spiritually, emotionally, morally empty, they will need things like the drugs they choose to use. Mankind has wanted to change the way it felt from the beginning anyway. In this country there are even more reasons to want to feel different, to want to feel better, because this is such a neon sewer. This is such a degrading culture. It forces you to play Beethoven to your child in the uterus so that he will get into a better school and a better job and make more money so he can take care of you. ~ George Carlin
School Plays quotes by George Carlin
In a tournament, even though there are team scores, it's calculated and it's a lot more individual. There is more honor to say you're not just better than the opposing schools' wrestler, you're the best wrestler in your weight class. Plus there are lot more awards to win in a tournament. ~ Bill Vaughan
School Plays quotes by Bill Vaughan
