“I love scenes that are just emotional give and take. By the same token action sequences are great to do. They have their own unique demands and requirements. So I take it as it comes and hopefully you can get a good balance of all of that stuff.” GivingActionStuffEmotionalBalanceSceneDemandUniqueHopefullyRequirementsSequenceTokensGive And Take Author:Stephen Lang
“I learned how to let other performers have their moment. A lot of people can't do that. They just chew the scenery and steamroll over their scene partners. It doesn't make you look better in the long run to do that. You have to have balance in your scene. If it's somebody else's moment, let them have it. Learn how to be generous. Plus, it makes the audience hate you.” PeopleIfsLooksLongMomentsRunningHateAudienceBalanceScenePartnersGenerousPlusPerformersLong RunsHate YouScenery Author:Wendi McLendon-Covey
“For me, in movies, it's always a mixed bag. I've never made a movie where I thought, "You were really good in that movie; you were good all the time." No. It's always, "You didn't get it, you didn't do it in that scene, but the other scene is pretty good." So I just hope that in balance there's more good scenes than not.” MadeBalanceSceneBags Author:Christopher Walken
“Contradictions, most of all, a balance between chaos and order. It needs neighborhoods vibrating with energy just as much as cozy little corners and parks; well-tended, middle-class sections as well as an alternative scene; technology centers for innovative youth and social facilities for older people.” PeopleNeedsWellsLittlesOrderEnergySocialClassTechnologyMiddleYouthBalanceSceneChaosCornersAlternativesParksContradictionMiddle ClassNeighborhoodSectionsInnovativeFacilityCozyOlder People Author:Charles Landry
“When people watch me on TV they see part of my life. I wanted to let them know the real me behind the scenes. The child who was a concert violinist from the age of six. The young woman who took on the challenge to compete in the Miss America pageant. The television journalist for twenty-five years. The mother of two who, just like most women, struggles to balance work and family.” PeopleKnowsYearsChildrenTwoRealAgeWantedAmericaYoungMotherChallengesBehindsWatchesStruggleFiveMissingTelevisionTvsBalanceSceneSixTwentiesJournalistFive YearsConcertsYoung WomenTwenty FiveBehind The ScenesWatch MePageantViolinistReal MeMiss America Author:Gretchen Carlson
“I don't strive for balance. I just try to get through my to-do list, with my kids' homework being at the top of it, and then try to prepare for the next audition or whatever scene I'm shooting next. Balance.” TryingKidsNextBalanceSceneStriveListsShootingAuditionsHomework Author:Adina Porter
“It's an art installation to put out a collection, with the people behind the scenes who are inventing and creating these designs and making sure they're realized on the catwalk, and just how much hangs on it for the designers. Their livelihoods hang in the balance, as far as whether this year's collection works for them or not, and there are so many people's jobs on the line, as a result of that. I just had no idea.” PeopleYearsArtIdeasJobsLinesResultsBehindsDesignBalanceSceneCreatingNo IdeaDesignerCollectionsInventingLivelihoodBehind The ScenesInstallationCatwalk Author:Tom Riley
“You have to find the tone of the piece and modulate that. There are ways to indicate that - I try to incorporate the biggest range I can within the story, going from humorous to serious without it being jarring. That's the hardest part, to keep that balance. It requires being constantly aware of where you are in the story. You can't really do that in a movie: You can't slightly modulate the tone by the way the character's eyeballs look in one certain scene.” TryingSeriousBalanceSceneHumorous Author:Daniel Clowes
“I remember asking myself one night, while I was curled up in the same old corner of my same old couch in tears yet again over the same old repetition of sorrowful thoughts, 'Is there ANYTHING about this scene you can change, Liz?' And all I could think to do was stand up, whle still sobbing, and try to balance on one foot in the middle of the living room. Just to prove that - while I couldn't stop the tears or change my dismal interior dialogue - I was not yet totally out of control: at least I could cry hysterically while balanced on one foot.” ThinkingTryingStillsRememberNightRoomsFeetMiddleCryTearsBalanceSceneProveAskingCornersDialogueBalancedRepetitionInteriorsOne NightCouchesLiving RoomSorrowfulSobbingLiz Book:Eat Pray Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Source: Eat Pray Love: One Woman's Search for Everything
