“What a wonderful work Wagner has done for humanity in translating the toil of life into the readable script of music! For those who seek the tale of other worlds his magic is silent; but earth-travail under his wand becomes instinct with rhythmic song to an accompaniment of the elements, and the blare and crash of the bottomless pit itself.” WorldDoneEarthSongHumanityWonderfulMagicElementsSilentInstinctScriptsTalesTranslateCrashToilPitsOther WorldsWandsWagner Author:Richard Wagner
“I was very sad to leave Harry Potter but equally there will be an element of excitement about the idea that a script might come in and I don't have to go: "I'm sorry, I'm kind of busy for the next four years." The idea of that is quite exciting.” YearsKindIdeasMightNextFourElementsExcitingSorryBusyScriptsExcitementFour YearsHarry PotterI'm SorryPottersVery Sad Author:Daniel Radcliffe
“I think the beauty of documentary work is that it's a mystery - you never know where it's going to lead you. You start out with some notion of it, but it's very different from a script. A script you write, you shoot against, and you know what the story is going to be. There's always the element of surprise, but the surprise comes from performance, from something that's improvised, it comes from someone who sees it inside an already determined framework. In documentary, it's never determined. It's never the same, and affords enormous possibility.” ThinkingKnowsWritingDifferentStoriesMysteryPossibilityElementsPerformancesSurpriseNotionScriptsDeterminedEnormousDocumentariesFrameworkElement Of Surprise Author:Gail Levin
“In retrospect, I think that I've been given quite a few scripts over the years that had dark elements to them but most of them took place in the countryside with a haunted house. I think I've probably had that script about six to 10 times over the past few years. Or it was something to do with the supernatural.” ThinkingYearsPastHouseGivenDarkElementsSixScriptsOver The PastCountrysideRetrospectHaunted Houses Author:Gillian Anderson
“You never know when you're taking a job, ever... but you try to take good scripts. That's all you can do as an actor - take the best thing available. Even then, it's not [really] in your control. Certainly not in film and TV, because there are so many other elements. You just have to take control of your own performance.” KnowsTryingJobsFilmActorsCan DoTvsElementsPerformancesScriptsAvailableBest ThingsTake Control Author:Damian Lewis

“Joe [Wright] reached out to me and sent me a treatment, and I said yes on the spot just from the treatment. Within six weeks, I was in Cape Town and there was a script [of Black Mirror episode 'Nosedive'], but I didn't realize until I received the full script that Rashida [Jones] and Michael [Schur] had worked on it. It's a particularly funny episode. Joe and I always looked at it as a satire; it has a lot of comedic elements to it.” SaidBlackRealizingWeekElementsSixTownsMirrorsScriptsSpotsTreatmentSatireEpisodesComedicCapesCape Town Author:Bryce Dallas Howard
