“My choices in projects have all been character or role-based, and on a financial level, it's obvious: as an actor on a TV series, I get a wonderful paycheck, and a consistent paycheck, which doesn't always happen when you're doing theater or movies.” CharacterHappensChoicesActorsLevelsRolesWonderfulTvsProjectsTheaterSeriesFinancialObviousConsistentPaychecksTv Series Author:Jim Parsons
“I'm fortunate enough that every job I do seems to be, at the very least, teaching me something fantastic. I make new friends. I work with talented people. And each project and experience seems to be better than the last. I seem to be topping myself all the time. I think to myself: "It can't get better, it can't get better..." And then something happens that makes me feel like I'm truly richer for the experience.” PeopleThinkingFeelsEnoughSeemsHappensJobsLastsTeachingProjectsThings HappenFantasticFortunateGet BetterNew FriendsToppings Author:Nathan Fillion
“All my movies have an autobiographical dimension, but that is indirectly, through the characters. In fact I am behind everything that happens and that is said, but I am never talking about myself in first person. Something in me - probably a dislike of cheap exhibitionism- stops me from approaching a project too autobiographically.” FirstsPersonsSaidCharacterFactsHappensBehindsTalkingProjectsDimensionsDislikeFirst PersonExhibitionism Author:Pedro Almodovar
“Even as a child I was fascinated by death, not in a spiritual sense, but in an aesthetic one. A hamster or guinea pig would pass away, and, after burying the body, I'd dig it back up: over and over, until all that remained was a shoddy pelt. It earned me a certain reputation, especially when I moved on to other people's pets. "Igor," they called me. "Wicked, spooky." But I think my interest was actually fairly common, at least among adolescent boys. At that age, death is something that happens only to animals and grandparents, and studying it is like a science project.” PeopleThinkingChildrenBodyHappensAgeSpiritualCertainInterestAnimalCommonBoysStudyProjectsMovedReputationWickedPetFascinatedAestheticPigsGrandparentPassing AwaySpookyMoved OnGuineaBuryingHamstersAll That RemainsGuinea PigsI Moved On Author:David Sedaris
“When you use an excuse for not accomplishing something or not completing a project, you are actually giving power to someone or something outside of yourself.

“Not only is true love rare and true rebellion rare, real love is itself a radical form of rebellion - engagement, thinking, and being - and therefore happens in the context of a larger project of justice, liberation, and critical thinking.” ThinkingRealHappensFormJusticeLove IsProjectsCriticalRadicalLiberationRebellionEngagementReal LoveCritical Thinking Author:Masha Tupitsyn
“[On her collaboration with Adolph Green:] We stare at each other. We meet, whether or not we have a project, just to keep up a continuity of working. There are long periods when nothing happens, and it's just boring and disheartening. But we have a theory that nothing's wasted, even those long days of staring at one another. You sort of have to believe that, don't you? That you had to go through all that to get to the day when something did happen.” BelieveLongHappensCreativityTheoryPeriodsProjectsGreenBoringThings HappenStaringCollaborationContinuityLong DayDisheartening Author:Betty Comden
“The problem I've always discovered in my own work when this kind of thing happens when you hit the wall is there's almost always a reason. You've almost always made a mistake in the initial conception of the project. You misapprehended something or you thought something would work and now you're three quarters on the way through and you see that it doesn't work.” WayKindMadeReasonProblemHappensThreeMy OwnMistakeWallProjectsThings HappenConceptionQuartersInitialsMade A Mistake Author:Steven Pressfield
“When I choose projects, I don't stipulate between film or theatre or television.
