Hollywood Movie Stage Beauty Quotes

“Your old tutor did you a great disservice, Mr. Kynaston. He taught you how to speak, and swoon, and toss your head but he never taught you how to suffer like a woman, or love like a woman. He trapped a man in a woman’s form and left you there to die!”
CLAIRE DANES – Maria Hughes

“A man isn’t how he walks or how he speaks. It’s what he does.”
ZOË TAPPER – Nell Gwynn

“I always hated you as Desdemona. You never fought! You just died, beautifully. No woman would die like that, no matter how much she loved him. A woman would fight!”
CLAIRE DANES – Maria Hughes

“Exile is a dreadful thing for one who knows his rightful place.”
RUPERT EVERETT – King Charles II

“A woman playing a woman? Where’s the trick in that?”
BILLY CRUDUP – Ned Kynaston

“What do you know of love, sir? Or loyalty? Or adoration suffered in deepest silence? The only love you know, sir, is what you act on stage.”
CLAIRE DANES – Maria Hughes

“- Maria Hughes: Why won’t you play men?
– Ned Kynaston: Men aren’t beautiful. What they do isn’t beautiful either. Women do everything beautifully, especially when they die. Men feel far too much. Feeling ruins the effect. Feeling makes it ugly.”
CLAIRE DANES – Maria Hughes
BILLY CRUDUP – Ned Kynaston

“- King Charles II: Why shouldn’t we have women on stage? After all, the French have been doing it for years.
– Sir Edward Hyde: Whenever we’re about to do something truly horrible, we always say that the French have been doing it for years.”
RUPERT EVERETT – King Charles II
EDWARD FOX – Sir Edward Hyde

“A part doesn’t belong to an actor; an actor belongs to a part.”
BILLY CRUDUP – Ned Kynaston

“- Samuel Pepys: Tell me about your parentage, Miss Gwynn.
– Nell Gwynn: My mum was a whore, my father was in the navy.
– Samuel Pepys: I see.
– Nell Gwynn: That’s why I don’t never do sailors.”
HUGH BONNEVILLE – Samuel Pepys
ZOË TAPPER – Nell Gwynn

“- Samuel Pepys: Your performance of the man stuff seemed so right, so true. I suppose I felt it was the most real in the play.
– Ned Kynaston: You know why the man stuff seemed so real? Because I’m pretending. You see a man through the mirror of a woman through the mirror of a man. You take one of those reflecting glasses away it doesn’t work.”
HUGH BONNEVILLE – Samuel Pepys
BILLY CRUDUP – Ned Kynaston
