I hate when there's a deleted scene on a DVD with no explanation, or you have to go out of your way to find an alternate audio track.
With prose you can incorporate more details, develop scenes, sustain the tension in a special way. Prose has its own speed.
What a difference! Under the esthetic sky, everything is buoyant, beautiful, transient! when ethics arrives on the scene, everything becomes harsh, angular and infinitely boring
Many fear mistakes. In TV and films you just re-shoot the scene. In life do the same and just shoot a re-take.
Stephen Moyer is probably the most gracious, gifted actor that I've met. He's really intelligent. He has a real sensitivity to his character, to scenes, to scripts.
I think back story can help guide your choices, but when you're playing a scene, you're not making choices; you're just intuitive.
Every man has his fault, and honesty is his.- Lucullus (Act III, scene 1)
They hadn't much faith in travel, nor a great belief in a change of scene as a panacea for spiritual ills; they were simply glad to be going.
If you do a scene and you really like a character in it or a premise in it to write it down and to work on it so that you can have five or six characters that you can pull out in an audition.

We were using a hand-held camera to film the scene when Morse collapses. The camera wouldn't start. Three times they said action and it still wouldn't work. To this day, they still don't know what was wrong.
I have a few celebrity friends, but I'm really not into the whole Hollywood scene. I like to separate myself from my work. It stresses me out if I do too much of the same.
I like working with actresses, and I like women a lot, not for obvious reasons, but just in that that there's so much about what they bring to the scene that keeps it so interesting. Their instincts are so different, and they never explain them to yo...
I have this dream that the first responders to 911 calls will not be law enforcement personnel but robots. Robots can put eyes and ears on the scene much faster than you can with policemen or women.
Why can't people just sit and read books and be nice to each other?
'Yes, we rather condemn people for eternity without the courtesy of informing them.'
You clobber Death when he's breathing in your ear and see how you feel about the club.
That which is currently beyond your capabilities now, does not have to be so forever
Spend your time designing the greatest reputation a man could possess.
Adopt the positive in everything you do, for there will always be positivity there to find, if that is what you seek.
