[John] Hughes was open to that [rehearsal]. This can only happen if the director and/or the writer are open to that.

To a certain extent. I'm a fan of rehearsal on the day [of the shoot], more than getting together a week beforehand.

If you're a comic, you don't have a rehearsal room, you rehearse on stage. My main concern is remembering everything.

I'm a little bit sillier than past Cinderellas... at least, I am so far. But it's only the second day into rehearsal!

Let's not hold anything back in 2015. We only have one life to live and this is not a dress rehearsal!! #‎ allornothing

I mean four hours of rehearsal done, trying out for 'The Sing-Off,' and now winning is just a dream come true for all of us.

I am a fan of rehearsal. I like doing it [scene] over and over and over and over until it looks like you never did it before.

I don't really think about dance except just before rehearsals start. I put it off. I don't live my life thinking about dance

The great thing about doing a play is you get this rehearsal period, which you don't get with most film and television roles.

There's pre-production, and the second part is when you start rehearsal. Pre-production was a very large learning curve for me.

The focus of our family life was homework and what was for dinner; getting to ballet rehearsal and getting my brother to soccer.

People ask me what my hobbies are in interviews, and I always say biking. But all I bike for is to get to rehearsal more quickly.

An orchestra knows during the first two minutes of the first rehearsal whether or not they are going to enjoy the person on the podium.

There are some actors who are rehearsal actors, and some who are not. I am not. Having said that, I don't know what I am talking about.

You discover a lot of things on your feet and if you don't have any rehearsal, then anything that happens on the screen is by accident.

I truly thought I was going to be in pop music. And then I joined a choir to meet girls, and everything changed in the first rehearsal.

For the first time I go to La Scala, for each thing, for each rehearsal, my knees were shaking. But the audience was very fine with me.

Home is a place not only of strong affections, but of entire unreserve; it is life's undress rehearsal, its backroom, its dressing room.

The rehearsal time is almost my favourite part of being an actress, particularly if you're working on a play that hasn't been done before.

The truth is that I don't like rehearsals. I get embarrassed hearing my own work. I assume that the cast is embarrassed to sing the stuff.

You've got to make the rehearsal room very safe. You can't bully people, because if you bully people, they're going to freeze and lock up.

Japanese orchestras are generally playing at quite a high level on the first day of rehearsal, but they don't improve very much from there.

There is no such thing as too much rehearsal. When Daniel Day-Lewis told Steven Spielberg he needed a year for 'Lincoln,' I understand that.

I always treat each take as a rehearsal for the next take. That way you can find stuff and keep adding and playing until they tell me to stop

There's not one day that goes by that I'm not listening to one of my songs or in rehearsal for one of my songs or dancing to one of my songs.

During rehearsals I am confronted by things very mysterious. I have terrific fights with inner demons, and it's more painful than it ever was.

I've done a lot of television, and there's no rehearsal process - you have to come to the set with your guns blazing and with a point of view.

I'm a theater actress. I love rehearsal. I could have six weeks of rehearsal and think it's not enough. But on film, you don't get that luxury.

The best thing I ever bought is a vintage Oscar de la Renta short gingham dress that I wore to my rehearsal dinner the night before my wedding.

You have to run, an awful lot, on instinct. Even on 'Veep,' it's not like you get weeks of rehearsal to break out what's going on in the scenes.

I once played Jennifer Lopez's werewolf body double in a sketch. I don't think anyone was shocked when the sketch got cut after dress rehearsal.

A band requires so much rehearsal and travel logistics. I didn't mind it when I was younger, but there's not much motivation for me to do it now.

There is a kind of classlessness in the theater. The rehearsal pianist, the head carpenter, the stage manager, the star of the show-all are family.
