“There's something mystical and wonderful about being in the room with the actual live performer s on stage that works. In film, it doesn't work so you're dependent on a great director to keep the thing moving along.” FilmMovingRoomsWonderfulStageDirectorsDependentPerformersMystical Author:Marshall Brickman
“I wish there was something more that performers could do other than get out there and sing at benefit performances. I wish I felt that if I had an empty room I'd like to bring in someone and make it a hospice, but I'm not Mother Teresa. I can't do that.” IfsI CanMotherWishFeltRoomsBenefitsEmptyPerformancesPerformersTeresaHospiceEmpty Rooms Author:Bea Arthur
“Diane Coffee is just the part of me that has always been a performer. It's something that's always been there and Diane Coffee is just the name I've given her for this project. But I was always the one who would raid mom's closet and get all dressed up and put on crazy weird shows in the living room or film little movies.” LittlesShowsFilmNamesGivenRoomsCrazyMomProjectsCoffeePerformersClosetsLiving RoomDressed Up Author:Shaun Fleming
“What you're hoping for about the concert is an overall collective experience that everyone has and that you share with them and when you hit the stage you have a "common" feeling. Even though you're the performer and they're the audience there's something uniting everybody in the room.” FeelingsRoomsCommonAudienceShareStageCollectivesConcertsPerformersUniting Author:Joel Plaskett
“There's always room. That's what the directors usually want. They want the performer to bring themselves and give what they have to give for the role. The smart ones allow that to happen because then it becomes even more organic within the performer's imagination. It becomes even more real. It's not always a given in other films, but when Gunn works, and we all work together in a collaborative way like that, it becomes a given that you bring it. It becomes a lot of fun.” WayWantGivingRealHappensTogetherFilmGivenFunImaginationRoomsRolesDirectorsSmartWorking TogetherPerformers Author:Michael Rooker
