People talk about the difference between radio acting, TV acting and stage acting, but I think it's all the same. For instance, when I played Vultan in 'Flash Gordon,' I put as much energy into it as I would with 'King Lear' - it's all part of the same thing.
Brian Blessed

We might not object to the statement that Lear deserved to suffer for his folly, selfishness and tyranny but to assert that he deserved to suffer what he did suffer is to do violence not merely to language but to any healthy moral sense.

The Oresteia, King Lear, Dostoevsky's 'The Devils' no less than the art of Giotto or the 'Passions' of Bach, inquire into, dramatize, the relations of man and woman to the existence of the gods or of God.
George Steiner

There isn't a King Lear for women, or a Henry V, or a Richard III. You reach a level where you can handle that stuff technically and mentally, and it's not there.
Helen Mirren
Image
Heaven blazing into the head: Tragedy wrought to its uttermost. Though Hamlet rambles and Lear rages And all the drop-scenes drop at once Upon a hundred thousand stages It cannot grow by an inch or an ounce.
William Butler Yeats
Image
As I get older and I get a few more years experience I become more like Dad, you know, King Lear.
David Crystal
Image
O, let me kiss that hand! KING LEAR: Let me wipe it first it smells of mortality.
William Shakespeare
Image
Grant me an old man's frenzy, Myself must I remake Till I am Timon and Lear Or that William Blake Who beat upon the wall Till Truth obeyed his call.
William Butler Yeats
Image
The truly tragic kind of suffering is the kind produced and defiantly insisted upon by the hero himself so that, instead of making him better, it makes him worse and when he dies he is not reconciled to the law but defiant, that is, damned. Lear is not a tragic hero, Othello is.
W. H. Auden
Image
Fare thee well, king: sith thus thou wilt appear, Freedom lives hence, and banishment is here.
William Shakespeare
Image
I think I'm going to have to get a flying license very soon, and maybe one of those Lear jets. It beats motorcycles all to hell.
Hunter S. Thompson

The quality of nothing hath not such need to hide itself
William Shakespeare

It's difficult for most people to imagine the creative process in tennis. Seemingly it's just an athletic matter of hitting the ball consistently well within the boundaries of the court. That analysis is just as specious as thinking that the difficulty in portraying King Lear on stage is learning all the lines.
Virginia Wade

I feel like I've been on EastEnders all my life and now I'm playing King Lear.
Ian Holloway

Come not between the dragon and his wrath.
William Shakespeare

Pray you now, forget and forgive.
William Shakespeare

A laughing Lear would be monstrous. Not so a laughing Romeo and Juliet.
Mason Cooley

In a very real way Norman [Lear] godfathered me into my career. He was the best mentor anybody could have ever had.

Twins are under-represented in the media. Hamlet - never twins. Hamlet Twins Of Denmark. King And Queen Lear. It would work. Come on, more twins on television.
Steven Moffat

I'm still producing scripted features, and I am already working on a new documentary project with Norman Lear and Lara Bergthold. It is about the Declaration of Independence and the relevance of the document today. And it will be fun and engaging - I promise!
Linda Goldstein Knowlton

I do not see how it is possible for an intelligent human being to conclude that the Song of Solomon is the work of God, and that the tragedy of Lear was the work of an uninspired man.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Image
The good parts are the people who don't make do. They're the interesting people. Lear doesn't make do.
Peter O'Toole
Image
Men must endure Their going hence, even as their coming hither. Ripeness is all.
William Shakespeare

When I was growing up my favorite show was 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show', and I loved all the stuff that Norman Lear did.
