“For some reason, some of my best solutions and ideas are triggered in those dark theaters, usually totally unrelated to what's going on onscreen. I also enjoy hiking in the foothills and mountains close to Sacramento. I always have to bring a pen and paper to jot down sudden thoughts and ideas. So inspiration arises from countless sources.” IdeasReasonInspirationEnjoyDarkSourceMountainPaperSolutionsTheaterArisePensHikingThoughts And IdeasSacramento Author:James Rollins
“Pen-and-paper role-playing is live theater and computer games are television. People want the convenience and instant gratification of turning on the TV rather than getting dressed up and going out to see a live play. In the same way, the computer is a more immediately accessible way to play games.” PeopleWayWantPlayGamesRolesTelevisionTvsPaperComputerTheaterInstantPensGoing OutGratificationConvenienceDressed UpInstant GratificationGetting DressedComputer GamesRole PlayingLive TheaterGetting Dressed Up Author:Gary Gygax
“Even before I started going to movies, I loved the idea of them.

“I don't understand why we have to experiment with film. I think everything should be done on paper. A musician has to do it, a composer. He puts a lot of dots down and beautiful music comes out. And I think that students should be taught to visualize. That's the one thing missing in all this. The one thing that the student has got to do is to learn that there is a rectangle up there - a white rectangle in a theater - and it has to be filled.” ThinkingShouldDoneBeautifulFilmWhiteOne ThingMissingStudentsTaughtPaperMusicianTheaterDown AndFilledExperimentsComposerDotsBeautiful MusicRectangles Author:Alfred Hitchcock
“We carve on our body what society teaches us and continue this task, not knowing the identity they force us to have. This identity is carved on our faces and our skins.

“I loved the movie theater so I always saw a lot of movies. And then there was a play, I saw in the local paper, they were having auditions for a play of a book I had read.

“My mother's a genius. She just kept feeding me art on whatever we had; paper plates, silver platter, didn't matter. You know, she just kept feeding it to me. So we went to see all kinds of theater.

“A playwright... is... the litmus paper of the arts.
