“I've never like had a system or a program, I always think that I don't know how to act. I'll adapt to any director because I don't really have a set way that I do things. If a director hires me and says, "I want you to get started right now and do this research, this research, this research and I want you to have every line memorized before you ever show up for the first day," then that's what I'll do.” IfsThinkingKnowsWayWantFirstsShowsLinesKnow HowRight NowDirectorsResearchProgramI Want You Author:Jennifer Lawrence
“Pastoureau combines a charming, conversational tone with a haughtiness I found entirely endearing. A director of studies at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes at the Sorbonne in Paris, he writes from a position of professorial confidence. He has conducted extensive research into the history of colour for a quarter century and his aim is to correct misapprehensions and banish ignorance. His style is not to inquire, explore or interrogate, in the fashion of academic studies today. It is to impart knowledge.” WritingTodayFoundStudyCenturyFashionStylePositionIgnoranceDirectorsResearchAimParisToneColourQuartersAcademicCharmingImpartEndearingHaughtiness Author:Sebastian Smee
“Actors have seven tracks going in their minds: They've got all the research they've done for the part, then they have whatever the director asked them to do, then they've got what the departments like special effects need them to do.” NeedsMindDoneActorsSpecialEffectsDirectorsResearchSevenTrackDepartmentSpecial Effects Author:Tobin Bell
“To be honest, I don't usually do very much research, especially if I'm working with a director who also wrote the screenplay. They've usually done a tonne of research. And they'll tell you about it from their perspective which is better than doing your own research.” IfsDoneHonestPerspectiveDirectorsResearchBeing HonestScreenplays Author:Christina Ricci
“My favorite part about costume designing is the artistry of the job. You meet with a director and a visionary to discuss ideas. You research the characters and figure out the components of their look through your own vision. You create a color palette for a film, television or stage medium and discuss it with the director of photography who then lights your colored subjects.” LooksIdeasCharacterLightJobsFilmVisionSubjectsStageFiguresDesignTelevisionColorDirectorsPhotographyResearchMy FavoriteMediumsCostumesComponentsVisionariesArtistryPalette Author:Ruth E.

“The director of the institute where I was working apologized about these young, enthusiastic researchers when the World Bank visited because he was afraid the institute would lose the World Bank consultancies.I went back home and started the Research Foundation for Science, Technology, and Ecologyan extremely elaborate name for the tiny institute that I started in my mothers cow shed. My parents handed over family resources and said, Put them to public purpose. Thats how I survived.” WorldSaidHomeYoungMotherPurposeNamesParentLosesTechnologyDirectorsResearchResourcesFoundationTinyCowsShedEcologySurvivedEnthusiasticBack HomeInstituteResearchersScience TechnologyWorld Bank Author:Vandana Shiva
