“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

“Writers are egotists. All artists are. They can’t be altruists and get their work done. And writers love to whine about the Solitude of the Author’s Life, and lock themselves into cork-lined rooms or droop around in bars in order to whine better. But although most writing is done in solitude, I believe that it is done, like all the arts, for an audience. That is to say, with an audience. All the arts are performance arts, only some of them are sneakier about it than others.” WritingBelieveArtDoneArtistOrderI BelieveRoomsAudienceSolitudePerformancesBarsLocksWork DoneCorkPerformance Art Author:Ursula K.

“I think time is a constraint to destroy and then reinvent. If you give me a constraint, I'll accept it. But I always try to move it around, or to readapt it. Ecco! If you lock me in a room, well I'll go out through the window! I always remember Achille Castiglioni, one of my mentors, and he always said that in industrial design you have the idea, the fantasy, the concepts - that's the marmalade! - but the constraint of the brief is the bread. You need both in order to find structure for your ideas.” IfsThinkingNeedsGivingTryingWellsSaidIdeasRememberMovingOrderRoomsAcceptingFantasyDesignConceptsWindowGive MeStructureBreadMentorLocksConstraintsAchillesIndustrial DesignMarmalade Author:Patricia Urquiola
“In early youth, if we find it difficult to control our feelings, so we find it difficult to vent them in the presence of others. On the spring side of twenty, if anything affects us, we rush to lock ourselves up in our room, or get away into the street or the fields; in our earlier years we are still the savages of nature, and we do as the poor brutes do. The wounded stag leaves the herd; and if there is anything on a dog's faithful heart, he slinks away into a corner.” IfsYearsHeartStillsFeelingsDifficultSidesPoorRoomsStreetsDogFieldsYouthSolitudeSpringTwentiesCornersFaithfulGet AwayLocksSavagesWoundedBrutesHerdsStags Author:Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
