Colman Quotes By Colman Domingo

I hired a publicist once I got cast in 'Passing Strange,' and one of the first conversations we had was about how I wanted to handle talking about my sexuality.

I'm playing among the flowers. — Colman Domingo

Colman Quotes By Colman Domingo

It's an experience I'd like to add to the chorus, that these blue-collar, macho men, like my older brother, had the capacity to say: 'I don't care, I love you anyway.'

Colman Quotes By Peter Orner

John Colman Wood's The Names of Things is a thoughtful, patient, and ultimately rewarding book. It's about, among many other things, the connections human beings make, that in spite of everything, we will always make.

It was their singing and moving together' Singing and moving together, Wood has found a way to express this profound and beautiful idea through fiction. — Peter Orner

We therefore find that the triangles and rectangles herein described, enclose a large majority of the temples and cathedrals of the Greek and Gothic masters, for we have seen that the rectangle of the Egyptian triangle is a perfect generative medium, its ratio of five in width to eight in length 'encouraging impressions of contrast between horizontal and vertical lines' or spaces; and the same practically may be said of the Pythagorean triangle — Samuel Colman

A very famous city,

Colman Quotes By Olivia Colman

This may sound mad, but you sort of assume that no one's going to watch what you do. You go on set, have a lovely time, and then you forget anyone's going to see it. So it's always a bit of a shock to be recognized. I get terribly embarrassed. — Olivia Colman

Colman Quotes By Olivia Colman

Colman Quotes By Colman Domingo

It is true that as people, we tend to remember only the positive. With time, the grim details fade away, and as a species we survive on this notion.

Colman Quotes By Olivia Colman

I love my job and I know I am very lucky but still, if you audition and you don't get it, it still affects you. — Olivia Colman

Colman Quotes By Colman Domingo

Colman Quotes By Colman Domingo

I have been constantly shaping and reshaping my career. I laid a foundation by doing respectful work in all media. And I am happy with what I have done. — Colman Domingo

Colman Quotes By Colman McCarthy

With a few exceptions, the media have phrased the past five months as a contest of wills between Bush and Saddam Hussein, not as a moment of deragement between two armed madmen willing to order their young to slaughter each other. Analysis -endless analysis- has been offered about the two men's tactics, as if they were coaches preparing for the Super Bowl. — Colman McCarthy

Colman Quotes By Colman McCarthy

It's better to build a peaceful child than re-build a violent adult. — Colman McCarthy

Colman Quotes By Olivia Colman

If the script's good, everything you need is in there. I just try and feel it, and do it honestly. I also don't learn things for auditions, because I feel like it's just a test of memorizing rather than being real. Maybe every other actor would think that was terrible, I don't know. But it seems to have worked for me, so far. — Olivia Colman

Colman Quotes By Colman Domingo

From afar, I have cried watching my nation, sore with prejudice, slowly heal itself. I hurt along with America, my phantom pains only alleviated by work I do every day - art. — Colman Domingo

Colman Quotes By Colman Domingo

I recently did a play, Athol Fugard's 'Coming Home' at Long Wharf Theatre, where I played one character throughout - I sat at a table and didn't have any costume changes. Following one character's arc from beginning to end is a whole different mindset. — Colman Domingo

Colman Quotes By Colman McCarthy

If peace is what every government says it seeks, and peace is the yearning of every heart, why aren't we studying it and teaching it in schools? — Colman McCarthy

Colman Quotes By Colman McCarthy

It's too easy only to blame the militarists, racists, sexists and other pushers of violence for the mess we're in. What is harder is self-examination, moving beyond caring by looking inward to ask the personal question: What more should I be doing everyday to bring about a peace and justice based world, whether across the ocean or across the living room? — Colman McCarthy

Colman Quotes By Colman McCarthy

Flacks for both war-obsessed governments immediately blamed the other side for the deaths of the civilians. — Colman McCarthy

Colman Quotes By Olivia Colman

You see thousands of films you forget the minute you come out of the cinema, don't you? Because they don't mean anything. It's the tough ones like 'Breaking the Waves' and 'Nil By Mouth' that stay with you, that you never forget. I'd like to leave a few of those behind if possible. — Olivia Colman

Colman Quotes By Ronald Colman

A prolonged future doesn't excite me. It would have to have a point. — Ronald Colman

Colman Quotes By Colman McCarthy

Colman Quotes By Colman McCarthy

The failure of love, that's what all laws are really. — Colman McCarthy

Colman Quotes By Colman Domingo

Colman Quotes By Colman Domingo

I missed my entrance in a production of 'Blade to the Heat' at Thick Description in San Francisco. I came into the scene very late and hugged the punching bag. I had no idea what to do! Unfortunately, that mishap was recorded for archives at UC Berkeley. It goes down in history. — Colman Domingo

Colman Quotes By George Colman The Elder

Life's a lottery, and man should make up his mind to the blanks. — George Colman The Elder

Colman Quotes By Olivia Colman

I feel fortunate that I'm not a beauty. I'm not a classic beauty. I feel it is harder for girls who are like that. There are fewer parts. — Olivia Colman

Colman Quotes By Olivia Colman

If a script is good, you are 10 steps into the part just reading it. But my choices are not all down to my taste. It is about people you have worked with before. — Olivia Colman

Colman Quotes By Colman McCarthy

Colman Quotes By Colman McCarthy

The students I've been with these twenty years are looking for a world where it becomes a little easier to love and a lot harder to hate, where learning nonviolence means that we dedicate our hearts, minds, time, and money to a commitment that the force of love, the force of truth, the force of justice, and the force of organized resistance to corrupt power are seen as sane and the force of fists, guns, armies, and bombs insane. — Colman McCarthy

Colman Quotes By Colman Domingo

When I first moved to New York, I had some colleagues who said I should be my straightest self - whatever that means - when I went into casting offices, but I didn't want to put on an act of what I thought was heterosexual. I just wanted to be myself, and I'm very grateful because I feel like I've been embraced for that. — Colman Domingo

Colman Quotes By Colman Domingo

My only qualifications to be an actor were that I'm daring, and I'm a quick learner. I've always learnt by watching what other people do. It's the same with my writing. I write what I know. Structurally, I write in a very undisciplined way. — Colman Domingo

Colman Quotes By Colman McCarthy

Warmaking doesn't stop warmaking. If it did, our problems would have stopped millennia ago. — Colman McCarthy

Colman Quotes By Olivia Colman

Colman Quotes By Robert Colman

True worship can only take place when we agree to God sitting not only on His throne in the center of the universe, but on the throne that stands in the center of our heart. — Robert Colman

Colman Quotes By Colman Domingo

My brothers and sister and me grew up making fun of each other, the way we'd speak or move. When we get together, everyone's funny, quick, loud, and speaks on top of each other. It was like a great comedy school; nothing is precious. — Colman Domingo

Colman Quotes By James Norton

As far as people I'd like to work with, the list is endless. I think to work with Steve McQueen would be amazing, and then some of the U.K. talent we have: Eddie Marsan, Olivia Colman, both of whom I have met and admired for a long time. We're very blessed in this country; there is so much talent for people to work with and learn from. — James Norton

Colman Quotes By George Colman The Elder
