Quote by Dave Barry

“The newspaper industry when I came along in the mid-70s was rich and powerful and growing and hungry for material and open to new people. None of that is true in the newspaper industry today. Print in general is pretty rugged. The good thing is that you can gain a foothold on the Internet because everybody has access to it, even things like Twitter - I mean, you can get a reputation for being funny pretty quickly on Twitter, on a blog, that kind of thing.”

And then when you're watching it, you watch it with a different sensibility than how you experienced it.”

“When you shoot a scene, you remember every moment. You remember when your head went down, your head went up. You don't see little quirks, little eye movements, little lip movements.

And the vanity, what it makes you focus on are everything that has nothing to do with the scene and everything to do with your own ego.”
