“You cannot begin to imagine the shock I had when I came down on the floor for the first time. First of all, there's this whole thing about playing sitcom comedy. I didn't want to do the sitcom thing, but I didn't know what else to do. I went slowly. We went through the week of rehearsal, then we got on the floor with the cameras, which I'm used to because of my experience in the old days. Then came camera day, with an audience, and it was stunning, enthralling, exciting and chaotic. I had never experienced anything like that before, as an actor. I was part minstrel, part actor.” KnowsWantFirstsWholeUsedActorsAudienceComedyImagineWeekFirst TimeExcitingCamerasShockRehearsalChaoticOld DaysSitcomStunningMinstrels Author:William Shatner
“With directors, some have a kind of in-built ability to just know how to work with actors and get the best out of actors, and some don't have a clue about acting. I think it'd be a good idea if directors put themselves in front of the camera, or even went on a six-week drama course, just to know a little bit about what that feels like.” IfsThinkingKnowsFeelsKindLittlesIdeasCoursesActorsBitsAbilityActingKnow HowWeekFrontsDramaDirectorsSixLittle BitBuiltCamerasGood IdeasClue Author:Paddy Considine

“To act out something or take chances in the performance is one thing. But in terms of a camera, whatever's captured is captured so that's a little more daunting. You know you can't go back next week and fix it. Whereas in a live audience you know it's so in the moment and you just go with what's happening. First of all you never have to see it again so you don't know if you were really fulfilling it or not.” IfsKnowsFirstsLittlesMomentsNextTermChanceAudienceOne ThingWeekHappeningsPerformancesCamerasFulfillingTake A ChanceCapturedNext Week Author:Lily Tomlin

“I went to Art College and during the summer I made a movie with my brother.

“It's a pity I am so impatient and careless, as any ordinary person could learn all the techniques of photography in a week. It is the democratic art, i.e. technical skill is practically eliminated - the more foolproof cameras become with focusing and exposure gadgets the better - and artistic quality depends only on choice of subject.” PersonsArtChoicesQualityWeekSubjectsDependsSkillsPhotographyOrdinaryCamerasDemocraticTechniquePityArtisticExposureImpatientCarelessGadgetsOrdinary PersonTechnical SkillsFoolproof Author:W.

“I invented a camera that has an exposure time of one hundred years and the camera works in the simplest possible terms, because anything more complicated is more likely to break down in one way or another. It's a pinhole camera that lets in very low light and instead of exposing film, which is going to spoil within a matter of days or weeks, I'm using ordinary black paper.” WayYearsMatterLightFilmBlackTermBreakWeekPaperLowsOrdinaryHundredCamerasComplicatedOne WayBreaking DownSimplestExposureSpoilExposing Author:Jonathon Keats

So Emilio and I, every Saturday night, would go into Chicago because we were shooting outside of Chicago in Des Plaines.
