“Certainly, for a newspaper director, to have within arm's reach a Travaglio, about whom every starring actor, supporting cast and extra of Italian political life he is ready upon cold request to provide an inquiry brief refined in the most minute details is a nice comfort. But also a bit unsettling. The day I asked him if in that archive, into which no one is allowed to stick their nose, there were a brief with my name on it, Marco changed the subject.” IfsPoliticalActorsNamesBitsNiceMinutesSubjectsChangedReadyArmsColdComfortDirectorsSticksCastsDetailsNewspapersNosesExtrasItalianInquiryRequestRefinedMarcosArchivesPolitical Life Author:Indro Montanelli

“You have total control of it, and when you're an actor, you're subject to production design and costumes and directors and studio choices and producer choices, but when you're writing it, you're creating your own little world in your head, peopled with your little characters. No one is in there monkeying with it, at least not at first - though they will. With this and the other projects I'm working on, it'll have to be given away, and it'll have to be someone else's property.” WorldWritingFirstsLittlesCharacterChoicesActorsGivenSubjectsDesignDirectorsProjectsCreatingPropertyProductionsStudiosProducersCostumesProduction Design Author:Rainn Wilson
“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
