“I think sometimes I get carried away, like I'm speaking to an imaginary audience rather than just trying to figure something out for myself. Ideally, I try to balance that - that I'm asking these questions of myself, how does this work, why does this happen, what's going on here.” ThinkingTryingDoeSometimesHappensAudienceFiguresBalanceAskingImaginaryCarried Away Author:David Byrne

“Giving free advice is a sad waste of effort. In the first place, no man will act upon it unless he is already inclined to do so. Secondly, when a man lays his case before you, the idea that he is asking your advice is a polite fabrication. He merely is suggesting that he is doing so, while as a fact his real object is to acquaint you with his personal activity. He wants to talk to somebody, being a natural gossip or gadder, and he plays upon your propensity for "giving advice" in order to get an audience.” MenWantGivingFirstsIdeasRealPlayFactsOrderNaturalEffortCasesAudienceAdviceObjectsActivityWasteAskingLaysGossipPoliteSuggestingPropensityGiving AdviceFabricationFree AdviceWaste Of Effort Author:William H.

“You have a certain objectivity, as a member of the audience, and you can come away maybe being provoked into a certain discourse or a certain arena of questioning, regarding how you would deal with things that your character has to deal with. Whereas when you're doing a film, once you start asking, "What would I do?," you're getting the distance greater between yourself and the character, or you're bringing the character to you, which I think is self-serving, in the wrong way. The idea is to bring yourself to the character.” ThinkingWayIdeasSelfCharacterFilmCertainDealsAudienceGreaterMembersAskingDistanceServingQuestioningDiscourseArenaObjectivityWrong WaySelf ServingProvoked Author:Colin Farrell

“The format's limitations are its strengths. We can't show you the monster, but why would we want to? Your imagination is a darker and scarier place than anything that can get generated on a computer. Asking the audience to use their imaginations makes it a much more personal and interactive experience.” WantUseShowsImaginationAudienceComputerAskingMonstersLimitationFormatInteractive Author:Glenn McQuaid
