“Every film is hard work, and a few lucky people do get Oscars for what they do, and it's recognition for all that hard work on a certain level. If you didn't do the hard work, you wouldn't be standing there. On the other hand, people do a lot of hard work and don't get Oscars, so it's a mixture of glory and injustice at the same time.” PeopleIfsHardHandsFilmCertainLevelsHard WorkLuckyGloryStandingInjusticeRecognitionOscarsMixturesStanding There Author:Walter Murch

“Joy is a part of my process. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that poetry, as a practice, necessitates a sense of joy. It's exhilarating to come into contact with the things we write into being. And a real sense of play and abandon even when we are relying on hard-won technique, and even when the aim is deadly serious. How often do we get the excuse to stop, think, and then stop thinking altogether and try to listen to what sits behind our outside of our thoughts? Poets are lucky.” ThinkingWritingTryingRealHardPlayFactsJoyPoetryProcessBehindsPracticeSeriousPoetLuckyAimExcuseTechniqueContactAbandonOur ThoughtsExhilarating Author:Tracy K. Smith

“We were lucky to get Sam Jackson and Jeremy Irons and John McTiernan back. Long movie and hard movie to make and difficult for me because instead of working, my biggest concern was not repeating things I had done it in the previous films. And it rang notes in my head of episodic TV. A sequel is not a new movie; it's a chapter in a movie that you have already seen. Thank god Sam was there and thank god Jeremy was there. Again, it went outside the template of that series of films but it did well and made a ton of dough and the third chapter of a lot of sequels is always the one that falls down.” WellsLongMadeHardDoneFilmFallDifficultTvsLuckyConcernThirdsSeriesNotesIronThank GodChaptersFalling DownSequelsDoughSam Jackson Author:Bruce Willis
