“They say an elephant never forgets. Well, you are not an elephant. Take notes, constantly. Save interesting thoughts, quotations, films, technologies…the medium doesn't matter, so long as it inspires you. When you're stumped, go to your notes like a wizard to his spellbook. Mash those thoughts together. Extend them in every direction until they meet.” WellsLongMatterTogetherFilmForgetInterestingTechnologyInspireNotesMediumsNever ForgetQuotationsElephantsWizardsGet Well Author:Aaron Koblin
“One of the things that I learned in television, and one of the beauties of television, is that, if you have a strong writing staff, they rely on you just as much as you rely on them. They look to me or the other actors to help inspire them to take the character in interesting directions.” IfsWritingLooksCharacterHelpingActorsStrongInterestingTelevisionInspireRelyStaff Author:Kyle MacLachlan

“I never really set out to research any of these stories. I try to lead an interesting life though. I guess the closest I came to research was when I applied to work at the state mental institution in Austin, TX.

“If you know what it is before you even start, it's not as interesting. Central to being an actor is pretending, and the adventure of it all. That's why you become a junkie for different kinds of situations. I try to attach myself to people who really inspire me, and directors who are really passionate. That way, I can give myself more fully and trust the impulse behind why the film is being made, and I can be a little more irresponsible in finding out what the character is. I have to worry less about what the character means if I trust the director.” PeopleGivingTryingKindMeanDifferentCharacterFilmInterestingSituationWorryInspireAdventurePassionateImpulsePretendingDifferent KindsJunkie Author:Willem Dafoe
