Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000198860

Nobody could call the work of Noche Flamenca & Soledad Barrio pallid. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000233705

'Beloved Renegade' is a meditation on Walt Whitman, on tenderness, on dying. -- Robert Gottlieb

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000406104

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000411804
Editing is simply the application of the common sense of any good reader. That's why, to be an editor, you have to be a reader. It's the number one qualification. -- Robert Gottlieb

When you can't follow a ballet's action, you can always read the program notes. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000538754
What really matters is that 'Black Swan' deploys and exaggerates all the cliches of earlier ballet movies, especially 'The Red Shoes,' another tale of a ballerina driven mad and suicidal. -- Robert Gottlieb

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000740178

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000757143
The first time the Kirov ballet was seen in America was on Sept. 11, 1961. The ballet was 'Swan Lake.' The ballerina was Inna Zubkovskaya. The place was the old Met, on what must have been one of the hottest nights of the year, and there was no air-conditioning. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000759870
Just as I was turning fifteen, in the spring of 1946, my parents took me to see 'The Glass Menagerie,' well into its year-long run. I had seen a number of shows on Broadway by then, but nothing like this - because there was nothing like this on Broadway. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000768619
For Russians, to whom Pushkin's poem 'Eugene Onegin' is sacred text, the ballet's story and personae are as familiar and filled with meaning as, for instance, 'Romeo' and 'Hamlet' are for us.

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000784079

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000803801
One of the eternal mysteries of ballet is how untalented choreographers find backers for their work, and then find good dancers to perform in it. Is it irresistible charm? Chutzpah? Pure determination? Blackmail? Or are so many supposedly knowledgeable people just plain blind? -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000858495
Increasingly, editing means going to lunch. It means editing with a credit card, not with a pencil. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000859502
Tolstoy may be right about happy and unhappy families, but in ballet, it works the opposite way: All good ballets are different from each other and all bad ones are alike, at least in one crucial respect - they're all empty. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000861143
What 'War and Peace' is to the novel and 'Hamlet' is to the theater, Swan Lake' is to ballet - that is, the name which to many people stands for and sums up an art form. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000884959
There are a few writers whose lives and personalities are so large, so fascinating, that there's no such thing as a boring biography of them - you can read every new one that comes along, good or bad, and be caught up in the story all over again. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000910659
I can't remember how many years it's been since I last saw a David Parsons program or what I saw whenever it was, but that isn't surprising, since I can't really remember the first half of a David Parsons program while I'm watching the second half. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000931164
The man Dickens, whom the world at large thought it knew, stood for all the Victorian virtues - probity, kindness, hard work, sympathy for the down-trodden, the sanctity of domestic life - even as his novels exposed the violence, hypocrisy, greed, and cruelty of the Victorian age. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000939825

Remember: TV is a format, film is a format, and books are a format. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 000984513

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001004047
We all need each other in publishing to make publishing work for authors in a variety of formats now and in the future. Anyone who thinks publishers don't bring anything to the table has a very narrow view and lack of knowledge about the industry as a whole. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001056566
Paul Taylor's 'Offenbach Overtures' has lots of zip and charm, and its pair of dueling soldiers in red, who end up starry-eyed about each other while their disgusted seconds take up the quarrel, is nonstop funny. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001069795
The heart of the classical repertory is the Tchaikovsky-Petipa 'Sleeping Beauty,' and no ballet is harder to get right. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001071191

The eternal and uneasy relationship between ballet and modern dance endures, but radically altered in tone and intensity. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001104909
Jodi Melnick is hotly self-absorbed. Her onstage musicians are much too loud, and like so many narcissistic performers, she goes on much too long: She's interested in herself; why wouldn't we be? -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001105710
Soledad Barrio is clearly a master - of thrilling steps and passionate movement. She stalks, she circles, she struts, she snaps her head - her feet drill the stage. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001116979

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001150564

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001194512
A steady diet of the higher truths might prove exhausting, but it's important that we acknowledge their validity and celebrate their survival. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001197384

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001220878
Like all editors, I assume, I'm a reactor. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001228958

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001242145
The first movement ballerina should be a paradigm of strength and authority. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001271785

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001300363

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001331793
We see a new generation of Russian authors who are not divided from their Western contemporaries either culturally or philosophically. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001350120
Many people say to me, particularly about my dance writing, 'It sounds just like you.' But it sounds just like me after I've made it sound like me. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001354585
The Kirov is a great ballet company because it has so many terrific dancers, but it doesn't always know what to do with them. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001372054
The best seat in the house often depends on the ballet. For instance, much of the first act of 'The Nutcracker' is domestic and small scale, so it's great to sit up close. But the second act features elaborate scenery and choreography, which are better to observe from a distance. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001405065
At a certain point, you have to face the fact that you've turned into an old fart. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001408691

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001416183
'Porgy and Bess' has never been thought of as a dance show, and yet it's filled with dance. It uses dance to punctuate the action, or as background, or as atmosphere; even when it's front and center, it isn't crucial. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001418209
Dance Theatre of Harlem has done a lot of good things well, a lot of good things badly, and a lot of bad things - it doesn't matter how. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001456587

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001457775
'River of Light,' to a dense but powerful score commissioned from Charles Wuorinen and with ravishing lighting by Mark Stanley, has depth and resonance. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001463166
In Georgia, apparently, men are men and women are women - at least in their folk dance. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001484732
An editor has to be selfless, and yet has also to be strong-minded. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001496390

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001505544
Larry Hart and Dick Rodgers were both bright Jewish boys from Manhattan who at one point or another went to Columbia, but there the similarity in their backgrounds ends. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001520102
With literary fiction, generally a film maker falls in love with a book. In commercial fiction, it's a producer or studio falling in love with a book they can make into a movie with worldwide appeal. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001541393
'Eclipse' is overlong and overly self-conscious, but it isn't a fake or a zero; it just gets exhausting. It raises a crucial question: 'When does Concept morph into Gimmick?' -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001542907
You can usually tell how healthy a ballet company is by the degree of your interest in the middle ranks of the dancers - the not-yet stars, the up-and-comers. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001570723
The Iron Curtain may be a thing of the past, but Mother Russia is as mysterious as ever. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001584994

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001594490
'Ocean's Kingdom' is a fairy story with no subtext, no resonance - it's not about anything except its water-logged plot. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001595630
All ballet galas are unbearable, but they're unbearable in different ways. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001606508

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001640949
Choreographers, historically, are born, not made - their talents drive them to it. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001656996
Editing requires you to be always open, always responding. It is very important, for example, not to allow yourself to want the writer to write a certain kind of book. Sometimes that's hard. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001657106
I hated Matthew Bourne's 'Swan Lake' when it first turned up, and then when it was televised, and then when it returned. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001667731

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001739110

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001739111
As an editor, I have to be tactful, of course. -- Robert Gottlieb

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001746799

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001774387
Classics are constantly being re-imagined and transformed, and the originals are none the worse for it; they endure. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001781995
As for the once-revolutionary 'Agon,' after more than half a century, its lessons and revelations have been so absorbed into the language of ballet that it now seems almost conventional. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001793974

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001803326
Blood is the leitmotif of 'Black Swan.' -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001807281
Why movie and dance critics are taking 'The Company' seriously, I can't imagine. Are they impressed by Altman's reputation and naive sincerity? By the fluid semi-documentary approach? -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001830096
I first read 'An American Tragedy' in college, and in my entire life I had never read anything so painful. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001834280

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001853346

Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001863393
How the English love playing at being naughty boys! -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001866793
Acting has changed since the nineteen-forties. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001871467
Ballet Hispanico is a mixture of ethnic, ballet, social, jazz - you name it, it's doing it. The company has been going strong for more than 20 years, and you can see why: It may not be refined, but it's full of beans. -- Robert Gottlieb
Robert Gottlieb Quotes : pic 001875002
I have fixed more sentences than most people have read in their lives. -- Robert Gottlieb
