“Writing a film - more precisely, adapting a book into a film - is basically a relentless series of compromises. The skill, the "art," is to make those compromises both artistically valid and essentially your own. . . . It has been said before but is worth reiterating: writing a novel is like swimming in the sea; writing a film is like swimming in the bath.” WritingHas BeensArtSaidBookFilmNovelSeaSkillsArt IsSeriesCompromiseCraftsSwimmingBathsRelentlessAdapting Author:William Boyd
“In the long run, you have to have patience and integrity and a plan. You can't compromise your vision. I'm a bit of a control freak, brutal when it comes to my art because I believe it's the best way of doing it, for me. My stubbornness has given us the chance to play in some amazing places that most people never would have been allowed to play in. If I don't put a value on my work, then nobody else is going to.” PeopleBelieveLongArtRunningValuesI BelieveChanceVisionIntegrityArt IsCompromiseFreakBrutalStubbornnessHaving PatienceControl Freak Author:Einar Selvik
“My overall approach toward art is to remain as open as possible in front of the world, to always be curious, not to be afraid to experiment, and have a sense of self-criticism and a general criticism toward the surrounding. Also, trying to make a difference between serious research and pure gag! And making as few compromises as possible toward doing things that might not be accepted by the majority of society, even if this dominant society is the one which is ruling the art world. To keep this fundamental idea, even if it's a bit trivial: to have the desire to transform the world.” WorldTryingArtDesireSeriousArt IsCriticismAcceptedCompromiseCuriousMaking A DifferenceSense Of Self Author:Daniel Buren
