“I think that film festivals, we're very often given to understand, are about filmmakers and about films and about the industry of filmmaking. I don't believe that they are, I believe that film festivals are about film audiences, and about giving an audience the encouragement to feel really empowered and to stretch the elastic of their taste.” ThinkingGivingFeelsBelieveFilmGivenI BelieveAudienceIndustryTasteEncouragementDon't BelieveFilmmakerFilmmakingFestivalsEmpoweredFilm Festivals Author:Tilda Swinton
“Your job, as an actor, is never to just do what you're told. That's boring, and life is too short. It's your job to bring something, and it will either be to other people's taste or your own taste, and you have to try things out. Actors say, "Well, as long as the director's happy," but I don't believe that and I don't agree with that. I want the director to be happy, but if I'm not happy, I won't sleep at night.” PeopleIfsWantTryingBelieveWellsLongJobsLife IsNightActorsSleepTasteDirectorsAgreeDon't BelieveBoringToo ShortLife Is Too ShortNot Happy Author:Martin Freeman
“I don't believe in failure. I believe every setback is an opportunity to learn, regroup, get stronger, and try again. This is my motto: Rejection is God's protection. When people feel that they have failed, it's usually because somebody or something caused them to feel that way and taste defeat. I refuse to dwell on that. Yes, it sucks at first, and the feeling is valid, but it all happens for a reason. Let go.” PeopleWayFeelsTryingFirstsBelieveReasonFeelingsHappensOpportunityI BelieveTasteLetting GoStrongerDon't BelieveDefeatRefuseProtectionRejectionMottoTry AgainSetbackMy MottoHappens For A ReasonOpportunities To Learn Author:Roselyn Sanchez
“Be as decent as you can. Don't believe without evidence. Treat things divine with marked respect — don't have anything to do with them. Do not trust humanity without collateral security; it will play you some scurvy trick. Remember that it hurts no one to be treated as an enemy entitled to respect until he shall prove himself a friend worthy of affection. Cultivate a taste for distasteful truths. And, finally, most important of all, endeavor to see things as they are, not as they ought to be.” BelieveImportantPlayRememberHumanityHurtEnemySecurityDivineOughtTasteProveEvidenceTreatsDon't BelieveAffectionWorthyTricksTreatedDecentEndeavorEntitledIt HurtsDistastefulCollateral Book:The Collected Fables of Ambrose Bierce Source: The Collected Fables of Ambrose Bierce
