“I think the most takes I've ever done would probably be maybe 10, on like a big studio movie where you can do those. But after a while it's like, "It's not gonna get any better, this is what it is," the light's just gonna dull from your eyes. I think the more you do it, the less the actors listen to each other because then you start memorizing the other person's lines and you start getting bored.” ThinkingPersonsDoneBigsLightEyeActorsCan DoLinesStudiosBoredDullMemorizing Author:Jennifer Lawrence
“You have total freedom. It's like, if you do a solo record, there are no restrictions and you can do whatever you want, good or bad. You can have these passing fancies where you go in to the studio one day and you want to do something like what you did on the way in. That's dangerous. You have to have some sort of focus.” IfsWayWantCan DoRecordsFocusDangerousOne DayStudiosPassingPassingsFancySoloRestrictionDo Whatever You Want Author:Patrick Stump

“Basically that you can do anything. If you pool your resources,and just give up the idea that you're going to act like a normal person or sleep, if you want it hard enough and do it well enough, it happens. A lot of really talented people either sort of get crushed under the wheel of the movie studio system or desperately try and get their next gig in TV. I understand why, because we've all got to put food on the table and the brass ring is out there, we'd all like to be making the Emmy-winning shows and the blockbusters and all that, but at the same time you could be doing stuff yourself.” PeopleIfsWantGivingTryingWellsPersonsIdeasHardEnoughShowsHappensNextWinningStuffCan DoSleepTvsGiving UpNormalResourcesTablesStudiosRingsWheelsPoolGigsCrushedBrassBlockbusterEmmysJust Give Up Author:Joss Whedon
“I love the feeling of letting fly, of pushing as far as I could go with my voice. The only way you can really graduate how you do it is by doing it regularly to people who don't have to be super impressed.

“For Twilight, I wasn't thinking it was going to be a crazy success, or anything. It had been rejected by all the major studios. Nobody wanted to make it and they didn't think it would make any money, but I read the book and I thought, "Wow, I want to capture that feeling of just being crazy in love. I wonder if I can do that in a film." That was my challenge.” IfsThinkingWantI CanBookFeelingsWantedFilmCan DoChallengesWonderCrazyMajorsStudiosCaptureWowTwilightJust BeingRejectedBeing CrazyCrazy Love Author:Catherine Hardwicke
