“The studio is a place where I can experiment before I'm prepared for an idea to become a body of work, or a new way of working, or a way of working that can sustain me over a period of time.” WayI CanIdeasBodyPeriodsPreparedStudiosExperimentsNew Ways Author:Chris Ofili
“I was off the scene for a while during the ska period and when I returned and joined the Treasure Isle studio, I came there with a different mood. The musicians picked up on that and we kept on going in that direction. The music became slower, which gave the bass player the time to play more notes. In 1965 I named it rocksteady. The first rocksteady song was 'Girl I've Got A Date'. That one was still a bit up-tempo, leaning towards ska. It turned the tide and made Treasure Isle the number one studio.” FirstsMadeStillsDifferentPlaySongGirlBitsNumbersPlayerPeriodsSceneMusicianMusic IsNotesStudiosMoodTreasureTidesBassTempoIsleBass PlayersDifferent Moods Author:Alton Ellis
“Each form of the acting is different. I think it keeps your mind active. TV, film and theater are different disciplines, as are independent films, opposed to studio films. There are differences in the size and the genre, or a period drama as opposed to a contemporary drama, or the types of characters.” ThinkingMindDifferentCharacterFilmFormDifferencesActingTvsTypeDisciplinePeriodsDramaTheaterIndependentSizeStudiosActiveContemporaryGenreIndependent Film Author:Luke Evans
“I don't think of myself as a great improver. A lot of times there's long periods of silence when everyone in the recording studio is looking at their watch and waiting for me to say something.

“To evoke the classic period of Italian cinema in a little film seemed like a great, fun thing to do. I had relations to that period. I had known Fellini and I had known Antonioni. I had made a movie with Antonioni and I had visited Fellini in his studios. So, it seemed like something worthwhile doing. You bring yourself to that mythical cinema.” LittlesMadeFilmFunKnownPeriodsRelationStudiosCinemaThings To DoClassicItalianWorthwhileLike SomethingEvokeDoing YouFun Things Author:Wim Wenders
“Everything has been for the [President] election for the last couple of months. Since the Democratic National Convention, it's been a dead run to get out as much content as possible and do as much as possible. Then, I go back to writing the screenplay I was working on, which is an original piece - a period piece that I will hopefully finish a couple of months after that, and hopefully I can convince some unsuspecting fool studio to buy.” WritingHas BeensI CanRunningLastsPresidentPiecesFoolMonthsCouplePeriodsOriginalsElectionDemocraticStudiosHopefullyConvinceConventionsScreenplaysUnsuspecting Author:Joss Whedon
