“A cupcake is like a great pop song. The whole world in less than three minutes. And it's impossible to have a bad cupcake. In New York you walk everywhere.

“People who just wanted to make it work and knew it was going to be a real challenge. We were on the beach the first day and Donald [Sutherland] and I are playing best friends our whole lives. We met each other for 10 seconds the night before and we're sitting on a beach lining up a shot that we shoot a few minutes later, never having had a conversation with each other and then end up going skinny dipping in the Pacific Ocean buck-ass naked, not knowing who the other person is.” PeopleFirstsPersonsRealEndsWholeWantedNightChallengesKnowingMinutesMetsConversationOceanShotsSittingWhole LifeNakedAssBeachSecondsNot KnowingSkinnyBucksPacificPacific OceanLining Up Author:Richard Masur
“I'm fine watching stuff on tape, to me casting is the most painful part of the whole process, it's like going on a horribly awkward date every five minutes for eight hours, and people come in and they'll be someone good but they're not right, and you want to tell them they're good, but it sounds like BS, and they're looking at your face to see how they did, what adjustments they need, and it's just so emotionally draining, and it goes on and on.” PeopleWantNeedsWholeFacesStuffProcessSoundHoursFiveMinutesFineGoes OnPainfulEightYour FaceTapeAwkwardCastingFive MinutesAdjustmentDraining Author:Mike Judge
“Ivo van Hove is directing The Crucible, and rehearses in quite an unusual way. We started rehearsals last week and dived straight into the first act, like, five minutes after we all turned up.

“We're trying, despite having done research and having obviously preconceived ideas, we try our best to be as open-hearted as possible, and try to create context. So that's always going to be the challenge, making a program like 'Gaycation', and we are always thinking about it, reflecting on it, and doing our best to show the whole picture as much as possible in a 45-minute span.

“I was tied down in that chair for 10 minutes and experienced what it was like to be completely powerless while someone else has complete dominance. It's sadistic, even though I find Richard to be a really lovely human being. That's what the whole film "Tickled" is about. It's not a film about tickling, but I think tickling offers a really good visual metaphor for the much bigger ideas that we were trying to get at about power and control - by people who have a lot of money - over people without money and who have no power in the relationship.” PeopleThinkingTryingHumansIdeasWholeFilmHuman BeingsMinutesOffersBiggerMetaphorLovelyVisualsChairsTiedLots Of MoneyPowerlessDominanceSadisticPower And ControlTickling Author:David Farrier

“If you look at the minutes of the constitutional convention - which we have - Madison who was the main framer, proceeded to develop a system in which - as he put it - power would be in the hands of the wealth of the nation, the more responsible set of men and who recognize the need to protect the rights of property owners. That's why in the constitutional system, the most powerful part of the whole system is the senate.” IfsMenNeedsLooksWholeHandsWould BeNationsWealthPowerfulRightsMinutesProtectResponsiblePropertyOwnersMost PowerfulSenateConventionsMadisonFramersConstitutional Convention Author:Noam Chomsky
“I actually had that conversation with [Channel 4 Chief Creative Officer] Jay Hunt. We were at a bit of a crisis point.
