Birthday Boy

Laurence Olivier

Share56
Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult.
Laurence Olivier

Have a very good reason for everything you do.
Laurence Olivier

I believe that in a great city, or even in a small city or a village, a great theater is the outward and visible sign of an inward and probable culture.
Laurence Olivier

I don't know what is better than the work that is given to the actor-to teach the human heart the knowledge of itself.
Laurence Olivier

I often think that could we creep behind the actor's eyes, we would find an attic of forgotten toys and a copy of the Domesday Book.
Laurence Olivier

I should be soaring away with my head tilted slightly toward the gods, feeding on the caviar of Shakespeare. An actor must act.
Laurence Olivier


I take a simple view of life: keep your eyes open and get on with it.
Laurence Olivier

I'd like people to remember me for a diligent expert workman. I think a poet is a workman. I think Shakespeare was a workman. And God's a workman. I don't think there's anything better than a workman.
Laurence Olivier

If he was lost for a moment, he would dive straight back into its honey.
Laurence Olivier

Lead the audience by the nose to the thought.
Laurence Olivier

Living is strife and torment, disappointment and love and sacrifice, golden sunsets and black storms. I said that some time ago, and today I do not think I would add one word.
Laurence Olivier

My stage successes have provided me with the greatest moments outside myself, my film successes the best moments, professionally, within myself.
Laurence Olivier


Surely we have always acted; it is an instinct inherent in all of us. Some of us are better at it than others, but we all do it.
Laurence Olivier

The actor should be able to create the universe in the palm of his hand.
Laurence Olivier

The office of drama is to exercise, possibly to exhaust, human emotions. The purpose of comedy is to tickle those emotions into an expression of light relief; of tragedy, to wound them and bring the relief of tears. Disgust and terror are the other points of the compass.
Laurence Olivier

We ape, we mimic, we mock. We act.
Laurence Olivier

We have all, at one time or another, been performers, and many of us still are - politicians, playboys, cardinals and kings.
Laurence Olivier

When you're a young man, Macbeth is a character part. When you're older, it's a straight part.
Laurence Olivier
