“There are two kinds of directors: There's the kind where two plus two equals four, and you have to help them figure it out. And then there's the kind that throws you in a room, locks the door, sets the house on fire and films it.” KindTwoHelpingFilmHouseRoomsFireFourDoorsFiguresDirectorsPlusLocks Author:Michael Pitt
“Puppies are constantly inventing new ways to be bad. It's fascinating. You come into a room they've been in and see pieces of debris and try to figure out what you had that was made from wicker or what had been stuffed with fluff.” WayTryingMadeRoomsPiecesFiguresFascinatingNew WaysPuppyInventingDebrisFluff Author:Julie Klam
“No! Not for a second! I immediately began to think how this could have happened. And I realized that the clock was old and was always breaking. That the clock probably stopped some time before and the nurse coming in to the room to record the time of death would have looked at the clock and jotted down the time from that.

And yet there was no mirror in the room on whose surface his own form could have cast its shadow for a moment; and, Something had passed darkly and gone!” MomentsFacesFormCertainRoomsGoneFiguresShadowMirrorsCastsSurfaceTouchedChairsSpokesOver ItFootstepsSpookyGliding Book:Dickens' Christmas Spirits: A Christmas Carol and Other Tales Source: Dickens' Christmas Spirits: A Christmas Carol and Other Tales
“It's unusual to spend even three full hours away from my newborn baby, it's like a piece of my body is back in the hotel room, and it does feel strange. But I love my work, though, it's not just a job for me, punching in my time card. I've always loved what I do, it's what makes me happy and I figure if I'm happy I'll be a good Mum too.” IfsFeelsDoeBodyJobsThreeHoursRoomsPiecesFiguresStrangeBabyCardsMy TimeHotelUnusualMumMake Me HappyNewbornHotel RoomsPunchingNewborn Baby Author:Naomi Watts
“Go back to The October Palace, which came out in 1994, and there are poems with windows, doors, the rooms of the gorgeous and vanishing palace that is this ordinary world and ordinary life.
