“There are certain things in the scripts that need to be planned: you know, big stunt sequences, battle sequences... you can't improvise that stuff. You can improvise when there's just two of you standing in a kitchen and the most dramatic thing that's going to happen is someone's going to open the fridge.” KnowsNeedsTwoBigsHappensCertainStuffBattleStandingScriptsDramaticKitchenSequenceFridges Author:Tom Hiddleston

“All this stuff you heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans, traditionally, love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost - and will never lose - a war, because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.” MenGivingWarRealPlayAmericaFightingWinningLostStuffLosesHellHeardBattleLosingHorseLaughedHatefulHootPlay To Win Author:George C.

“I'm trying mostly to ask questions. And not just trying to stake out a position on something, but also trying to define the stuff we agree on.

“I think that television lately has been extremely dark and, in some ways, cynical but I also think that people who are writing those shows probably feel exactly as I do - that sometimes the darkness of a story can highlight the light in a story. There's a lot of cynical stuff but I think it may be even more in movies now where you see so many movies about cynical and corrupted characters. That's the state of many movies right now but movies, television, all of culture, there's always going to be a battle between the stories that are cynical and stories that are hopeful.” PeopleThinkingWayFeelsWritingMayHas BeensSometimesStatesCharacterStoriesShowsLightCultureStuffDarkDarknessTelevisionRight NowBattleHopefulCynicalHighlights Author:Randall Wallace
“I just really like writing and making television shows. There are ego rewards in doing battle with other television programs in prime time in the main season. I suppose there are times when I might look at that and think that's the major league. But when you look at it, ultimately would I really want to gamble my livelihood and my ability to connect with my fan base or write a show that I really like writing, or in some cases direct a show that I really like directing, for the sake of winning an ego battle?
