Vegas is the city of temptation. I think, perhaps, it is an experiment by NASA. If we're going to send people to Mars, how will we create false economies and cultures to satisfy them? Vegas has the answer. People go there when they've nothing left to lose.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
A show is good when there is a meeting of time and space, when time and space become irrelevant.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
My naivety is to assume people will think there's compassion and solidarity in wanting to play someone even though we are not them.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
The thing that's interesting about Trump is that when you read 'Coriolanus,' you'd be tempted to draw parallels. But I don't do that.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
The extraordinary context of 'Coriolanus' is that it's the first republic - it's the first attempt to create a society not ruled by a monarch. It changes the whole system, and you see how the establishment reacts to that, how they have disdain but play along - and you recognize this is the whole American republican system.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
There's not a system better than another. There are some people better than others. I'm not anti-democracy, but there's no real system yet that has proven itself to be the right one.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
I never went through a gender identity problem, but I did with my sexuality.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
I never questioned if I was effeminate or not. That didn't matter in the theatre.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
When I went into the conservatory at 17, then I was able to open up and accept everything about myself and show my feminine side as well as my masculine.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
As a kid, my dad moved us to the upper town, which was in a higher class of people, and we would see the lower town below. Every day, we could see where we came from and where we were now.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
I always thought I was more of a mommy's boy, because she was charming, talkative, a great storyteller. But as I dug back into my past, I realized I am exactly like my father on so many levels, although I never thought I inherited anything from him.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
My father had barely any education. He could hardly write or count. But his great pride was that he was perfectly bilingual. In the household, he entertained this idea that we had to speak both languages.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
If you decide to work with the opera world, chances are there are going to be people who resist that.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
The first 'Ring' in Bayreuth was about the poetical world, the mythological world.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
Theatre is different. We can spend two weeks around a table talking about subtext. In opera, there is a score, and people already know their parts. And they move differently. I find all this liberating.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
A lot of people hated every moment of my 'Ring.' And a lot of people who had never been to an opera bought subscriptions to the next season.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
In Las Vegas, you confront yourself with your darkest desires, because they're all possible there.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
Vegas is a testing ground for the human soul. What are our values, especially in a time of crisis? Work with Cirque du Soleil, and you learn that quickly. The former socialist street performers who now throw parties by the pool with Brazilian models, oh yes!
Quote by -Robert Lepage
I'm not good at entertainment. I don't give myself to all the interviews, game shows, or talk shows.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
I'm not good at doing show business; I'm a theatre person. I don't reveal anything about my life.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
For me, theater will always be very, very much alive, but not necessarily in the theatrical tradition.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
My taste comes from when I was 12 years old and saw Genesis or Laurie Anderson or some performance artist who had put paint on himself. I've seen a lot of theater, but that's not what woke up my taste to become a director; nontheatrical things were much more theatrical than the theater I was seeing.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
Of course theater will always be associated intimately to literature, but the themes or whatever have to penetrate you by the senses. Theater is a sensuous experience, and that's its main difference from film or any other dramatic art.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
The first time someone stood up in front of the fire and told the story while illustrating it with shadows on the walls of the quarry, that was the birth of theater.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
Opera is a very stimulating place to work, and I believe it offers the most intense theatrical experience possible.
Quote by -Robert Lepage
When you hire Sam Jackson, he'll figure out the character, and he'll figure out the character's look, and he'll provide it to you. With Sam Jackson, you basically yell 'action', you go get a sandwich, and you come back and yell 'cut.'
Quote by -Rod Lurie
I loved going to the movies, especially when I was a teenager in the seventies. How couldn't you in what was perhaps the greatest era of auteur cinema?
Quote by -Rod Lurie
The fight to get a shield law barring the government from being able to jail journalists is itself a non-partisan battle.
Quote by -Rod Lurie
I think that most of the young officers I know are leftists and liberals and Democrats. And the reason is this: All of our soldiers, the men that work for us directly, are minorities - blacks or Latinos. And we empathize with them. Our job is to advise them and help them.
Quote by -Rod Lurie
Take a look at Mila Kunis. When you see her performance in 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall,' you see a beauty there, and also a sadness.
Quote by -Rod Lurie
Whenever you make a movie, when it's done, as a filmmaker, you never sit there and say, 'Boy, I really got that right.' It's, 'Where did I screw up?'
Quote by -Rod Lurie
The truth is that I have never created a president to push a political point of view. I am often looking to create aspirational characters; that's true. But, you know, in the end, it is really up to the actor in front of the presidential seal to decide exactly what kind of president you're going to get.
Quote by -Rod Lurie
Former soldiers will almost always gravitate to the anti-war party. This happens for obvious reasons. The men who have been in battle tend not to romanticize it and tend not to take it flippantly.
Quote by -Rod Lurie
Anything about Iraq is a death sentence at the box office... You can't make movies about an unpopular war while the war is still going on - people don't want to pay to get depressed, though they sometimes will go to movies to get educated.
Quote by -Rod Lurie
There was never a day at West Point where I didn't ask myself, 'Where would I put the camera?'
Quote by -Rod Lurie
I'm sure when 'Midnight Cowboy' came out, it took a couple of minutes to get used to the voice and the look of Dustin Hoffman, or to even recognize that it was Dustin Hoffman.
Quote by -Rod Lurie
Sam Peckinpah's movies probably say more about him than anybody's body of work says about that person. There are running themes in his films that I find eminently fascinating, disturbing, exhausting, and exhilarating.
Quote by -Rod Lurie
I grew up with an infestation of politics. I'm just nuts about it. It's our form of gladiators in the arena, only they are not in quite as good a shape.
Quote by -Rod Lurie
I remember watching movies like 'Fatal Attraction' and watching the audience go bananas at the end of the film.
Quote by -Rod Lurie
He may not have been a good actor, and I personally don't think he was a good president, but I'll tell you this: Ronald Reagan was a helluva character.
Quote by -Rod Lurie
I fell in love with 'Ben Hur' when I was 8 years old, and I just knew I had to be involved in movies, even if I was the guy who melted the butter on the popcorn.
