“Doing my first movie, I realized I could get into real bad habits. If you're the star, all you have to do is show up, and 20 people say, 'Do you want anything? What is it? Let me get it for you.' Believe me, you get spoiled very quickly. I saw some of my contemporaries allow themselves to have that fame, thinking they could handle it. It messed them up.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantFirstsBelieveRealShowsStarsSawsHabitFameLet MeI RealizedHandleBelieve In MeSpoiledBad Habits Author:Val Kilmer
“I grew up on the sets of Bonanza and most of my (childhood) memory is (on the set of) Little House. I was actually an assistant cameraman on Highway to Heaven. So, I observed my father working for many years. He was a very giving person. I really respected the way he ran his sets. He never treated anyone differently - whether you were the guest star of the show or the grip. Everybody was treated with respect.” WayGivingYearsLittlesPersonsShowsFatherHouseHeavenStarsMemoriesChildhoodGrewGrew UpTreatedRanGuestsHighwaysAssistantsChildhood MemoriesCameramanGuest Stars Author:Michael Landon, Jr.

“Critics are giving marks for originality, acting, photography and scripting, while mass audiences are more drawn to familiarity of genre, stars they would like to have sex with or plots that are more likely to make their dates have sex with them. Reviewers are doing their day's work, cinema-goers are escaping from theirs: this leads to an inevitable difference of response. It is, though, wrong to conclude that reviewers are completely useless. Books, movies and shows may be critic-proof, but the egos and psyches of the people who make them very rarely are.” PeopleGivingMayBookShowsStarsSexDifferencesActingAudienceEgoPhotographyMassMarkResponseCriticsProofInevitableUselessGenreCinemaPlotOriginalityFamiliarityEscapingReviewersPsych Author:Mark Lawson
