“The really successful work in England tends to be working-class writers telling working-class stories. The film industry has been slow to wake up to that, for a variety of reasons. It still shocks me how few films are written or made in England about working-class life, given that those are the people who go to movies.” PeopleHas BeensMadeStillsReasonStoriesFilmGivenClassSuccessfulWrittenIndustryEnglandWake UpVarietyShockWorking ClassFilm IndustrySuccessful Work Author:Stephen Daldry
“When women do succeed, the press, even the industry press, spend far too much time talking about how we dress, what shoes we're wearing, who we're meant to be seeing. That's pretty sad for women, especially when it's written by women who really should know better.” KnowsShouldSuccessTalkingToo MuchWrittenSeeingIndustrySucceedDressesPressesShoesMeant To Be Author:Zaha Hadid
“This is what happens when the discourse of publishing, defined and driven by spoken and written language, is talked about in exactly the same vocabulary and syntax as any widgetmaking industry.

“There's been more written about Lincoln than movies made about him or television portraying him. He's kind of a stranger to our industry, to this medium. You have to go back to the 1930s to find a movie that's just about Abraham Lincoln. I just found that my fascination with Lincoln, which started as a child, got to the point where after reading so much about him I thought there was a chance to tell a segment of his life to to moviegoers.” KindChildrenMadeReadingFoundChanceWrittenTelevisionIndustryStrangerMediumsFascinationAbraham1930sPortraying Author:Steven Spielberg
“There are a lot of producers and people in the music industry who take credit for the work of others when it's not actually their work. Especially big producers - they have a song that's written by one guy with a produced mix by someone else and then it's sung by someone else.” PeopleBigsGuySongWrittenIndustryCreditProducersMusic Industry Author:Howard Lawrence
“And then, once you've written, you meet producers and directors and actors. You get to meet interesting, talented, creative, artistic people, and it also staves off a bit of creative stagnation when you can't act, which is the reality of the industry. So often, you can't act because there are just too many cars and not enough car parks. But, I love writing and I'll never stop doing that.” PeopleWritingEnoughRealityActorsBitsInterestingCreativeWrittenCarIndustryDirectorsProducersArtisticParksStagnationCreative ArtCar Parks Author:Josh Lawson
“A lot of people, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry and a lot of people have written for other people, and of course Bruno Mars. So I think it's a great way to break into the industry and show people what you can do and show them your talent and people tend to listen a little differently to your own music as an artist, when you've proven yourself as a good songwriter for other artists.” PeopleThinkingWayLittlesShowsArtistCoursesCan DoBreakWrittenTalentIndustrySongwritersMarsProvenGaga Author:Bonnie McKee
“The American journalist Barbara Ehrenreich has written about this in her book Smile or Die: How Positive Thinking Fooled America and the World (2009) . She talks about the happiness industry, the rise of medication to make us happy and of self-help books, and the influence of all this on religion. In many ways religion has become another form of self-help. We all suffer from over-exposure to positive thinking.” ThinkingWorldWayBookSelfHelpingAmericaFormSufferingDiesWrittenInfluenceSelf HelpPositive ThinkingIndustryJournalistExposureFooledMedicationBarbaraSelf Help BooksHelp Book Author:Mark Ravenhill
