		Any dramatic series the producers want us to take seriously as
		a representation of contemporary reality cannot be taken seriously
		as a representation of anything - except a show to be ignored
		by anyone capable of sitting upright in a chair and chewing gum
		simultaneously. -- Richard Schickel
		
		It's kind of fun to do the impossible. -- Walter Elias Disney
		
		Listen to the stage manager and get on stage when they tell you
		to. No one has time for the rock star bullshit. None of the techs
		backstage care if you're David Bowie or the milkman. When you
		act like a jerk, they are completely unimpressed with the infantile
		display that you might think comes with your dubious status. They
		were there hours before you building the stage, and they will
		be there hours after you leave tearing it down. They should get
		your salary, and you should get theirs. -- Lollapalooza Alumni
		Henry Rollins
		
		'Music is the space between the notes.' -- C. Debussy
		
		Lighting Design is the space between the photons. -- Benjamin
		Hay
		
		The Critic is the one who surprises the playwright by informing
		him of what he meant -- Wilson Mizner
		
		Theatre is Life with the dull bits cut out. -- Alfred Hitchcock
		
		There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost
		deserved it. -- C. S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia
		
		Give me a long enough lever and I'll move the world. Give me enough
		string, sash pulleys and door closers and I'll mount EFX for you.
		-- Kit Lane
