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.

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
