All the real work is done in the rehearsal period.

I grew up being into sports and I wasn't trained to move my body in the right way for dancing. I'm the last one to get any moves correct. In rehearsals it's always 'OK one more take for Zac.'

Listen there are some movies that are set in stone and the writer or the director does not want to change but I've never worked on a movie including my own that didn't take advantage of a rehearsal process.

You can't work in the movies. Movies are all about lighting. Very few filmmakers will concentrate on the story. You get very little rehearsal time so anything you do onscreen is a kind of speed painting.

It's a privilege to serve the poor to be servants of noble Africans but I better belong in the rehearsal room or in the studio with my band. That's where I want to be and I still wake up in the morning with melodies in my head.

I prepare myself for rehearsals like I would for marriage.

Rehearsals and this band are two words that don't really go together kinda like Military Intelligence.

Fantasies are more than substitutes for unpleasant reality they are also dress rehearsals plans. All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination.

I gather from a lawyer that there was a rehearsal yesterday. We haven't a hope. I know the presiding judge too: I've had the misfortune to sleep with his wife. He was specially picked.

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.

Comedy is not funny. Comedy is hard work and timing and lots and lots of rehearsals.

I design my shots. I walk the rehearsal as the camera and say 'this is where I want to be... I want this look.

My dad taught me to play bass. He's a bass player he still plays in a band in Michigan to this day. He taught me to play bass when I was about 6. I used to just go to band practice with him and whoever didn't show up for rehearsal that day I would take their spot.

I love the rehearsal process in the theatre and the visceral sense of contact and communication with a live audience.

What looks absolutely fabulous in rehearsal can fall flat in front of an audience. The audience dictates what you do or don't change.

It was amazing that during rehearsals without any of the costume on the character was there complete. It just happened. Half the time I didn't know I was doing it.

As a kid who wasn't into sports at school I felt almost alienated at times whereas in the theatre community there was this amazing sense of camaraderie. Early on we would go to rehearsals with my dad and I was like the mascot for the backstage crew. That was a big part of my childhood so I dreamed of one day doing a play in London.
