  James Thurber: "We all know that the Theater and every play that comes to Broadway have within themselves, like the human being, the seed of self-destruction and the certainty of death. The thing is to see how long the Theater, the play, and the human being can last in spite of themselves." # Broadway # Death and Dying # Love

  Bill Tilden: "Tennis is more than just a sport. It's an art, like the ballet. Or like a performance in the Theater. When I step on the court I feel like Anna Pavlova. Or like Adelina Patti. Or even like Sarah Bernhardt. I see the footlights in front of me. I hear the whisperings of the audience. I feel an icy shudder. Win or die! Now or never! It's the crisis of my life." # Tennis # Audiences # Arts and Artists

  Nathan Lane: "I guess there's some sort of unspoken show business rule, [speaks in British accent] 'You do the Theater, and then you move into television, and then, of course, that is your steppingstone to film stardom.' I've done it every which way. I've done Theater for many, many years and then had some success in films. I would do television sporadically. I thought this was a good time to try it." # Popular Culture # Television # Cinema

  Camille Paglia: "Popular culture is the new Babylon, into which so much art and intellect now flow. It is our imperial sex Theater, supreme temple of the western eye. We live in the age of idols. The pagan past, never dead, flames again in our mystic hierarchies of stardom." # Popular Culture # Age and Aging # Arts and Artists

  Viola Spolin: "The audience is the most revered member of the Theater. Without an audience there is no Theater. Every technique learned by the actor, every curtain, every flat on the stage, every careful analysis by the director, every coordinated scene, is for the enjoyment of the audience. They are our guests, our evaluators, and the last spoke in the wheel which can then begin to roll. They make the performance meaningful." # Audiences # Acting and Actors # Techniques

  Arthur Miller: "My conception of the audience is of a public each member of which is carrying about with him what he thinks is an anxiety, or a hope, or a preoccupation which is his alone and isolates him from mankind; and in this respect at least the function of a play is to reveal him to himself so that he may touch others by virtue of the revelation of his mutuality with them. If only for this reason I regard the Theater as a serious business, one that makes or should make man more human, which is to say, less alone." # Audiences # Love # Happiness
