To quote a Shakespearean cliché, repeated to death because it is so stubbornly true: “All the world’s a stage.” Work is theater. The place where life unfolds to our tragic or comic satisfaction.

I'll always go back to the stage.

We are always on stage, even when we are stabbed in earnest at the end.

The world's a stage on which all parts are played.

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts.

Shakespeare's stage must hold the glass to every age.

All the world’s a stage. Creative work is a kind of theater. The stage is your studio, your desk, or your workstation. The costume is your outfit — your painting pants, your business suit, or that funny hat that helps you think. The props are your materials, your tools, and your medium. The script is just plain old time. An hour here, or an hour there — just time measured out for things to happen.

On the stage it is always now; the personages are standing on that razor edge, between the past and the future, which is the essential character of conscious being; the words are rising to their lips in immediate spontaneity … The theater is supremely fitted to say: "Behold! These things are."

The world's a stage, & everything else is Vaudeville.

If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting?

The thing with stage is, the stage does not have a quick turnaround.”

Stage requires discipline, very challenging because you don’t have a second take, there is no rewind and let me take it again and so, what you give at that time is what the people are going to get, it is important you make your decision for stage like in fraction of a second, you have to decide how you want to deliver that role within a fraction of a second, and once it’s done you can’t take it back, it helps you to focus.

Such an effort being with people—on stage all the time.

For the message of television as metaphor is not only that all the world is a stage but that the stage is located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
