More quotes by Vanessa Redgrave
You can't be striving to please you must be striving to get to the heart of the matter.
Vanessa Redgrave
Theater and poetry were what helped people stay alive and want to go on living.
Vanessa Redgrave
An awful lot of filmmaking and playmaking is taken over by marketers and publicists, who set about to tell people what to think. And people feel safer that way. But it's not safe, and the whole wonderful thing that cinema and filmmakers can contribute is to go into the not-safe land of real life.

Vanessa Redgrave
The arts stop society going rotten and mad.
Vanessa Redgrave
A theater is being given over to market forces, which means that a whole generation that should be able to do theater as well as see it is being completely deprived

The society Shakespeare knew was heading for tremendous change, and he seems to have recognized that and written about it in a coded way. I understand those codes, I think
Vanessa Redgrave
We will always want films ... that basically are centred on young people, because young people is the way we live on, we older people, insofar as we live on.
Vanessa Redgrave
You can't do what you've been asked to do unless you do the best you can. And roughly speaking, the best you can do is to be very available as a character and actor to the people you're acting with. That's equally important, whether the camera's on the other person or on you.
