Rehearsal Quotes - page 3

Toward the later days of Sabbath, instead of going in and knocking out what songs we did in rehearsal, we would polish them to death. (Geezer Butler)
When you perform in front of an audience after only two days of rehearsal, you're flying by the seat of your pants - particularly when they're rewriting the show right up to the moment the camera goes on.
Michael Richards

Studios are passe for me. I'd rather play in a garage, in a truck, or a rehearsal hall, a club, or a basement.
Neil Young
All ritual has a notable tendency to reduce itself to a rehearsal of formulas.
Thorstein Veblen
Today, the picture is more black. War would riot only mean a threat to our independence, it may mean the end of civilisation and even of human life. There is a force loose in the world whose potentiality for evil no man truly knows. Even in practice and rehearsal for war the effects may well be building up into something of unknown horror.
Sukarno
Life is definitely not a rehearsal, this is it.

Michael Fox
I prefer film to the stage. I always like the rehearsal better than I like performing.
Brad Dourif
But you really - I always think that a director has got to adapt to whatever the needs of the actor are. You know, so if you take someone like Eddie Murphy, who is not a big fan of rehearsal. You know he comes out of stand-up. He comes - it's all about capturing the moment - in the moment, you know.
Bill Condon

Alfred Molina

Anne-Marie Duff

It was in Cardiff, and the cast was 60 per cent Welsh-speaking. It's the first time I've walked into a rehearsal room speaking my mother tongue, which in itself was a breath of fresh clean air from the Welsh mountains. Singing Hans Sachs is always a milestone, but I was happy to be part of such an achievement, not personally but as a company. (Bryn Terfel)
To pay 60 musicians for rehearsal and performance is quite something, and I decided I wouldn't be able to handle that kind of situation financially again, unless somebody else was taking care of that end of it.
Chuck Mangione
But it was not possible to do this movie, in this matter of time, without a solid rehearsal period.

Donna Murphy
Orchestras are not used to playing the kind of stuff jazz musicians like to play. It requires a lot of rehearsal and recording time, so it's much easier to do on a synth or sampler. So, we came up with that idea.
Eberhard Weber
