“To me, acting is a matter of absolute concentration. You can laugh and giggle with your friends up to the minute the director says, "Action!" Then you snap your mind into shape and into the character that you're playing and relate to the people that you're acting with and forget everybody else that you've been joking with.” PeopleMindMatterCharacterActionForgetActingLaughingMinutesShapesDirectorsAbsolutesRelateConcentrationSnapsGiggle Author:Elizabeth Taylor
“There is too great a tendency (perhaps encouraged by popular journalism) to deal with the dramatic moments, forgetting that these are not always the most significant moments. ... To find the significant rather than the dramatic features of industrial controversy, of a disagreement in regard to policy on board of directors or between managers, is essential to integrative business policies.” MomentsForgetDealsBusinessPolicyDirectorsEssentialsRegardSignificantTendenciesJournalismManagersFeaturesBoardsDramaticControversyDisagreementBoard Of DirectorsSignificant Moments Book:Mary Parker Follett--prophet of management: a celebration of writings from the 1920s Source: Mary Parker Follett--prophet of management: a celebration of writings from the 1920s
“It's hard to be surprised by a film. It's hard to be surprised by another actor or by a director when you've seen enough and been around.

“3D needs a trained eye. It can't be done by everybody. People who just do 3D just for the sake of commercializing their movie another five or six percent and they don't know really how to do it, they should care how to do it better by bringing other directors and collaborators into their lives to help teach and instruct how you really make a 3D movie because it's not just like putting a new lens on a camera and forgetting it. It takes a lot of very careful consideration. It will change your approach to where you put the cameras. So, 3D isn't for everybody.” PeopleKnowsNeedsShouldDoneHelpingEyeCareForgetTeachFiveDirectorsSixApproachPercentCamerasSakeCarefulConsiderationLensesCollaborators Author:Steven Spielberg

“If the audience gets everything, if they see the photography and notice that it is good, then the story goes out the window, but if you become involved with the lives of the actors and forget that you are seeing mechanical devices on a huge screen - forget the make-believe - this is the job of the director to involve the audience with the actors.” IfsBelieveStoriesJobsActorsForgetAudienceSeeingHugeInvolvedDirectorsPhotographyWindowScreensDevicesMake Believe Author:Frank Capra

“A sportswriter's life means never sitting with your wife or family at the games. Still working after everyone has gone to the party...
