“What a wonderful work Wagner has done for humanity in translating the toil of life into the readable script of music! For those who seek the tale of other worlds his magic is silent; but earth-travail under his wand becomes instinct with rhythmic song to an accompaniment of the elements, and the blare and crash of the bottomless pit itself.” WorldDoneEarthSongHumanityWonderfulMagicElementsSilentInstinctScriptsTalesTranslateCrashToilPitsOther WorldsWandsWagner Author:Richard Wagner
“To achieve consistently terrific customer service, you must hire wonderful people who believe in your company's goals, habitually do better than the norm and who will love their jobs; make sure that their ideas and opinions are heard and respected; then give them the freedom to help and solve problems for your customers. Rather than providing rules or scripts, you should ask them to treat the customer as they themselves would like to be treated - which is surely the highest standard.” PeopleGivingShouldBelieveIdeasHelpingProblemJobsAsksGoalCompanyOpinionWonderfulHeardAchieveHighestStandardsTreatsScriptsSolveCustomersTreatedProvidingConsistentlyBelieve In YouNormTerrific Author:Richard Branson
“David Fincher is probably the best comprehensive director in terms of being a manger of a process that must drive forward. He has such confident command of cinema language and visual language and script and performance. He knows more about f-stops than any cameraman, he knows more about lighting than any gaffer, he is a wonderful writer, and he can give you a good line reading. Under pressure, he is the kind of guy who you will just dive in with and trust and follow because his vision is so intense.” KnowsGivingKindGuyReadingLanguageProcessTermLinesVisionWonderfulDirectorsPerformancesPressureScriptsIntenseCommandCinemaVisualsComprehensiveLightingUnder PressureCameraman Author:Edward Norton
“I dont think any actor has the luxury of knowing exactly what scripts are going to turn out well and what ones arent. It would be wonderful to have that particular skill, and maybe people like Tom Cruise have it more than most, but you go into each project hoping that a good, if not great, film will come out the other end.” PeopleIfsThinkingWellsEndsWould BeFilmTurnsActorsKnowingWonderfulParticularSkillsProjectsScriptsLuxuryTomsCruiseGreat Film Author:Jonny Lee Miller
“Well,the fun part of being a writer is that it's like making a wonderful film, with no limit on my budget. I can design the sets, the costume, the lightings, I write the script, and then I get to perform all the roles as I step into each character's skin, zip up, and adopt that point of view. So, to me, they are all compelling and fascinating.” WritingWellsI CanCharacterFilmFunViewsStepsRolesWonderfulDesignLimitsSkinsScriptsPoint Of ViewBudgetsFascinatingCompellingCostumesLightingZips Author:Robin Hobb
“I was just interested in directing. So I just kept having a go at trying to write little scripts and get things together, and my wife just had a slip of the tongue and said, "Franz Kafka's It's A Wonderful Life" when she meant to say "Frank Capra's."

“I didn't really know much about the Houdinis when I started. As soon as they sent me the script, I wanted to find out everything I could about Bess. Luckily, I have a really wonderful friend named Michael Mitnick, who's a writer. He was a magician as a child, and that led him to the theater, which led to drama school, and he writes films now. Magic was really his thing, growing up, so he put me in touch with his magic teacher who is a real Houdini expert.” KnowsWritingChildrenRealWantedSchoolFilmGrowing UpTeacherGrowingWonderfulMagicDramaTheaterScriptsExpertsMagicianWonderful FriendsHoudini Author:Kristen Connolly
“In my view, madness is a place. You go. You come back. And I think we all take turns being the mental patient. Without a touch of crazy, literature can be a desolate place. In the current climate of careful speech, even fearful speech, smoke-free film scripts, thought-free songs, and child-proof locks on American minds, the oft-repeated lament of the arts is "Where have all those wonderful madmen gone?"” ThinkingMindChildrenArtFilmSongTurnsLiteratureViewsGoneWonderfulCrazySpeechArt IsMadnessClimatePatientScriptsCurrentsCarefulProofSmokeFearfulLocksMadmenLamentDesolatePlaces You Go Author:Carol O'Connell

“When I did The X-Files, there was certainly less of that because the script was as it was and it was such a wonderful script and it was quite complex and there wasn't a hell of a lot of improvising I could do to bring to the table, but I guess what I did bring was a sense of self and that the reason I was cast was because I did come across as someone who possibly was only human for a short time.” HumansSelfReasonHellWonderfulTablesComplexesScriptsCastsFilesSense Of SelfShort TimeImprovisingX Files Author:Rhys Darby
