“Writing is a difficult trade which must be learned slowly by reading great authors; by trying at the outset to imitate them; by daring then to be original; by destroying one's first productions.” WritingTryingFirstsBookReadingDifficultOriginalsTradeProductionsDestroyingDaringBooks And ReadingGreat Author Author:Andre Maurois
“I don't want to restrict the life of a play to a particular production. The original actors might leave after the first six months, and I want the play to last 30 or 40 years. You write for the character, not the actor on the stage.” WantWritingYearsFirstsPlayCharacterMightLastsActorsStageParticularMonthsSixOriginalsProductionsSix Months Author:Neil Simon
“There is a problem on the so-called commercial stage in New York. The price of a ticket is exorbitant, and there are no longer original productions possible, apparently, on the commercial stage. They are all plays that were taken from either England or smaller theaters, off-Broadway theaters, and so on. The one justification there used to be for the commercial theater was that it originated everything we had, and now it originates nothing. But the powers that be seem perfectly content to have it that way. They don't risk anything anymore, and they simply pick off the cream.” WayPlayProblemSeemsUsedTakenRiskStageNew YorkPicksEnglandTheaterOriginalsProductionsUsed To BeJustificationCreamTicketsBroadway Author:Arthur Miller
“We had some ups and downs, creatively, as the season went on, which is true of any show. If you compound that by the production that we go through, in terms of original songwriting and recordings, and all that is happening simultaneously, where we didn't do as good a job, as I hope we do this year, is the arcing of the storylines and the consistency of going in one direction with a character, and continuing in a really interesting way with that arc.” IfsWayYearsCharacterShowsJobsTermInterestingHappeningsSeasonsOriginalsProductionsSongwritingContinuingConsistencyReally InterestingUps & DownsCompoundsArcsOne DirectionStorylineInteresting Ways Author:Robert Greenblatt
“In the beginning I had a lot of self-imposed limitations as far as production and instrumentation. It was really inspiring for us at the time, because those limitations allowed us to push ourselves as songwriters and gave us a strong sound that people could recognize as ours, like wearing a leather jacket every day. A uniform. They know it's you - and that's great - but my original intention wasn't to be a shoegaze band or to be derivative of one sound.” PeopleKnowsSelfStrongSoundBandOriginalsIntentionProductionsLimitationUniformsSongwritersJacketsLeatherDerivativesLeather JacketsInstrumentationReally Inspiring Author:Tamaryn
“It's very important to have a good song - one where you can strip away all the production and just play it on guitar or at the piano. It has to hold its own.

“"The way I feel about music -- any song, any style -- is that there is no right and wrong, only true and false. If the music and lyrics are conceived out of honesty and if the production of the song goes along with its original message, then what has been expressed is art, regardless of what anyone's opinion is of it.

“Mr. Hillaire Belloc has pointed out that science has changed greatly, and for the worse, since it became popular. Some hundred years ago, or more, only very unusual, highly original spirits were attracted to science at all; scientific work was therefore carried out by men of exceptional intelligence. Now, scientists are turned out by mass production in our universities.” MenYearsScienceSpiritChangeChangedMassHundredYears AgoScientistOriginalsUniversityProductionsUnusualExceptionalMass Production Author:Anthony Standen
“In the Leach Pottery we did most of our work on the wheel. [Bernard] Leach did a little work in the studio, which was press-molded forms, plastic clay pressed into plaster forms to make small rectangular boxes and some vase forms, which he liked to make. These were molds which had been made to an original that he had modeled in solid clay, and during our work there, sometimes I would be pressing these forms as a means of production.” MeanLittlesMadeSometimesWould BeFormOriginalsPressesProductionsBoxesStudiosWheelsPlasticClayMoldPotteryVasesPlasters Author:Warren MacKenzie
