“In spite of their obvious differences, folk art and popular art have much in common; they are easy to understand, they are romantic, patriotic, conventionally moral, and they are held in deep affection by those who are suspicious of the great arts. Popular artists can be serious, like Frederick Remington, or trivial, like Charles Dana Gibson; they can be men of genius like Chaplin or men of talent like Harold Lloyd; they can be as uni versal as Dickens or as parochial as E.P. Roe; one thing common to all of them is the power to communicate directly with everyone.” MenArtArtistCultureEasyDifferencesCommonMoralOne ThingTalentSeriousGeniusFolksAffectionObviousCommunicateSpitePatrioticGreat ArtBe A ManSuspiciousPopular CultureDickensChaplinFolk ArtRemingtonDeep Affection Author:Gilbert Seldes
“Uta Hagen is our greatest living actor; she is, moreover, interested and mystified by the presence of talent and its workings; her third gift is a passion to communicate the mysteries of the craft to which she has given her life. There are almost no American actors uninfluenced by her.” PassionActorsGivenMysteryTalentThirdsCommunicateCrafts Author:Fritz Weaver

“When I think about directing a film, the thing that stops me short is wondering if I'm a natural at it the way I think you, and PTA, and Fincher are born directors. Maybe some people's talent is in understanding the ways that film communicates, without dialogue, without plot.” PeopleIfsThinkingWayFilmUnderstandingBornNaturalWonderTalentDirectorsCommunicateDialoguePlotPta Author:Edward Norton
“Talent is important, and some background as well. This really is not beginner's school. I want to work with people that have achieved a certain level and with whom i can easily communicate, which means you don't have to do too much explaining so you won't waste precious time. I don't do much explaining during rehersals and we are just adjusting minor details. Simply, there is no space nor time for one to learn and each of them has to do their homework on time. That means practising, transitioning from a level to level.” PeopleWantWellsMeanI CanImportantSchoolCertainSpaceLevelsToo MuchTalentWasteDetailsCommunicateBackgroundsMinorsExplainingHomeworkBeginnersAdjustingPrecious Time Author:Vlatko Stefanovski
