“I tend to write things seven times before I show them to my editor. I write them seven times, then I take them on tour, read them like a dozen times on tour, then go back to the room and rewrite, read and rewrite... I would never show him a first draft, because then he's really going to be sick of it by the twelfth draft.” WritingFirstsShowsRoomsSickSevenEditorsDozenEditing Author:David Sedaris
“Richard [Griffiths] was by my side during two of the most important moments of my career. In August 2000, before official production had even begun on Potter, we filmed a shot outside the Dursleys', which was my first ever shot as Harry. I was nervous and he made me feel at ease. Seven years later, we embarked on 'Equus' together. It was my first time doing a play but, terrified as I was, his encouragement, tutelage and humor made it a joy. In fact, any room he walked into was made twice as funny and twice as clever just by his presence.” FeelsYearsFirstsMadeTwoImportantPlayMomentsFactsTogetherJoySidesRoomsCareersShotsFirst TimeEncouragementSevenProductionsCleverNervousMade ItEaseOfficialsTerrifiedSeven YearsPottersAugustImportant MomentsTutelage Author:Daniel Radcliffe
“A marriage was like a house under constant construction, each year seeing the completion of new rooms. A first-year marriage was a cottage; one that had gone on for twenty-seven years was a huge and rambling mansion. There were bound to be crannies and storage spaces, most of them dusty and abandoned, some containing a few unpleasant relics you would just as soon you hadn't found. But that was no biggie. You either threw those relics out or took them to Goodwill.” YearsFirstsFoundHouseSpaceRoomsGoneSeeingHugeTwentiesConstantSevenBoundsAbandonedConstructionSeven YearsGoodwillCompletionMansionsCottagesContainingStorageRelicsRamblingBiggieFirst Year MarriageStorage Space Book:A Good Marriage Source: A Good Marriage

“For some reason at Sundance, more than other festivals that I'm aware of, you find filmmakers rushing to screen works that sometimes aren't completed. In my seven years of programming at Toronto, I'm not aware of any documentaries that went back for serious editing after their premiere - other than those presented as works-in-progress. But at Sundance every year there seems to be a few films that push the deadline so hard that they get taken back to the edit room afterwards.” YearsSometimesHardReasonSeemsFilmRoomsTakenProgressSeriousSevenScreensFilmmakerProgrammingEditingDocumentariesFestivalsSeven YearsEditsDeadlineRushingTorontoWork In ProgressPremieresSundance Author:Thom Powers
“I kind of knew something was going on, and my older brothers and sisters were singing be-boppish kinds of stuff in the living room, and I was listening.
