If you cant fully believe in your ideas, it very quickly communicates to a group of actors who need something to hold onto. They need to believe that whatever criticism, whatever comment is received, is meant. - Trevor Nunn Quotes
If you feel very deeply about something, its not possible to sacrifice your integrity about that. - Trevor Nunn Quotes
If youre a director, your entire livelihood and your entire creativity is based on your self-confidence. Sometimes thats dangerously close to arrogance. - Trevor Nunn Quotes
