The ebulliently sharp mind of ‘White Christmas’ director Walter Bobbie made me tremble and strive in the same breath. The deceptively ‘simple’ dialogue of David Ives, asking every actor to just. say. it. Float it on the breeze; it doesn’t need ‘explanation,’ just energy and truth. David Ogden Stiers Read Quote
There are a couple of roles I haven’t played that I want to. I would love to play Shiloh. David Ogden Stiers Read Quote
When something really extreme happens, you have to find a way to embrace that and include it in how you think about the character. Sometimes it’s not easy. David Ogden Stiers Read Quote
A lot of my income has been derived from voicing Disney and family programming. David Ogden Stiers Read Quote
I wish to spend my life’s twilight being just who I am. I could claim noble reasons as coming out in order to move gay rights forward, but I must admit it is for far more selfish reasons. Now is the time I wish to find someone, and I do not desire to force any potential partner to live a life of extreme discretion with me. David Ogden Stiers Read Quote
Fun can happen on the interior. Nobody knows about it, but there are fireworks going on inside your spirit when you hear a great orchestra playing great music. David Ogden Stiers Read Quote
I think the preservation of orchestras and what they do is worth expending all the ways there are to reach out to people who might not otherwise go. David Ogden Stiers Read Quote
The simple act of sitting down and playing something enormously complex and spiritually uplifting on a harpsichord just bores kids to tears. There’s no sizzle, there’s no grab. But it’s the great lesson of serious music, that it invites you to listen, rather than demands that you listen. David Ogden Stiers Read Quote
People ordinarily don’t think of their orchestras as important as we’d like them to be. People don’t care about their friends and neighbors who sit down to commit excellence three or four times a year, but they will go see the tall bald guy with three names from television.
