“It was a show where you were given a quote out of current events and you had to identify who said it. I was reading eight newspapers a day and had compiled a file of about 300 quotes. I really had to do my research. The White House press didn't have to bone up on any of it.” SaidShowsReadingHouseGivenWhiteEventsResearchPressesCurrentsEightBonesNewspapersWhite HouseFilesCurrent Events Author:June Lockhart

“The endeavor of scientific research to see events in their more general connection in order to determine their laws, is a legitimate and useful occupation. Any protest against such efforts, in the name of freefom from restrictive conditions, would be fruitless if science did not naïvely identify the abstractions called rules and laws with the actually efficacious forces, and confuse the probability that B will follow A with the actual effort make B follow A.” IfsWould BeLawOrderNamesForceEffortConditionsEventsResearchConnectionsDetermineProtestOccupationEndeavorProbabilityAbstractionScientific Research Author:Max Horkheimer
“[Judge and Jury] is outstanding. I have learned more about the history of baseball, true history, than from anything I have ever read or heard about. [It's] research and documentation clarifies so many of the personalities and events that took place before 'my time' in the game.

“For me, as I've said many times, the story is not research. The story is how the characters relate with each other and with the environment...

“o matter how much research you do, or invention you do, whether it's a character from a novel, a completely invented character or someone who actually existed, it's a work of faction. By the very fact you only have an hour and a half or two hours to tell a story, you're telescoping events and it is, in the end, a work of imagination.” TwoEndsMatterCharacterFactsStoriesHoursImaginationHalfNovelEventsResearchInventionFactions Author:Cate Blanchett
“Oral history is a research method. It is a way of conducting long, highly detailed interviews with people about their life experiences, often in multiple interview sessions. Oral history allows the person being interviewed to use their own language to talk about events in their life and the method is used by researchers in different fields like history, anthropology and sociology.” PeopleWayPersonsLongDifferentUseUsedLanguageEventsFieldsResearchMethodInterviewsLife ExperienceMultipleSociologySessionAnthropologyResearchersConductingOral History Author:Patricia Leavy

“I had to imagine myself into certain aspects of [Julian Assange] character for our version of events. That involved extrapolating based on clues in his biography, his public persona, photographs, and other accounts of him by people who encountered him during that extraordinary period from 2007 to 2010 that we charted in the film [The Fifth Estate]. So, it involved a lot of research but, sadly, no contact with the man himself.” PeopleMenCharacterFilmCertainImagineEventsHe ManInvolvedPeriodsResearchAspectAccountsExtraordinaryPhotographVersionsContactEstatesBiographiesClueFifthPersonaAssange Author:Benedict Cumberbatch
