“Most of actor's work is done at home, in your hotel room, in the wee hours of the morning thinking and reading and feeling, walking around and listening to music. It really just because an internal exercise, whatever skills. It's great if you have to learn something new for a gig and designing a character physically is always fun but it does become an internal exercise in separating the wheat from the chaff.” IfsThinkingDoeDoneCharacterFeelingsHomeReadingActorsFunHoursRoomsMorningDesignListeningWalkingExerciseSkillsInternalsHotelSomething NewListening To MusicGigsWheatSeparatingHotel Rooms Author:Colin Farrell
“Real artists find answers. The knowledge of the artisan is within the confines of his skills. For example, I know a lot about lenses, about the editing room. I know what the different buttons on the camera are for. I know more or less how to use a microphone. I know all that, but that's not real knowledge. Real knowledge is knowing how to live, why we live, things like that.” KnowsDifferentRealUseArtistAnswersRoomsKnowingExampleSkillsCamerasButtonsEditingLensesMicrophonesArtisansReal KnowledgeReal Artists Author:Krzysztof Kieslowski
“Imagine what it must be like for teenagers who don't feel they have room to breathe in their own homes. If you are a parent reading this book, you care about your child.

“Well, I think there was a time when I first started that there was such a thing called 'a woman's film' and there were certain scripts that women would make. But I think that's changed a lot now. I think that if a woman director walks into a room with a script, it doesn't really matter what the subject matter is, or the genre is, so long as the financiers feel that the woman has the skills to make the film.” IfsThinkingFeelsFirstsWellsLongMatterFilmCertainWalksRoomsSubjectsChangedDirectorsSkillsScriptsGenreSubject MatterGenre IsFinanciers Author:Gurinder Chadha
