I like doing fight scenes. I always have, and I insist on doing as much of that action as they'll let me do. I think that's easy for me.
I find that is the best way to write during emotional scenes...put yourself and your emotions in every single word.-Nina Jean Slack
Every scene is a challenge. There are technical challenges, but often it's the simplest challenge where you feel a sense of achievement when you pull it off.
I did put on weight for the last half of the film, but the Ferris wheel scene was shot with a harness on me so that if I fell I wouldn't fall all the way.
I would actually write books totally full of nothing BUT kissing scenes, but apparently people like books to have, like, "plots" or whatever.
The real intimidating stuff is the scene where you show up for the first day. You kind of square off, and that is where you look each other in the eye.
I must confess I knew very little about the trance scene, I'm more house and commercial dance but it was really interesting and different.
I just couldn't get into the high school scene at all. I was fat, ugly and weird. I just couldn't do the makeup and the hairdos.
I enjoy the details. I enjoy coming up with ideas for improving the script, changing scenes and deciding what locations and wardrobe should be - the process of making a film.
And it's a question of how far we're willing to go in order to let the ego shine, in order to let that beacon penetrate not only the local scene but the world.
Many people think voice over artists just read, there's much more to it. Without acting beats, scene study and improving skills, you won't make it.
For me, screenwriting is all about setting characters in motion and as a writer just chasing them. They should tell you what they'll do in any scene you put them in.
If I want to kiss, I shall kiss. If I am told that a lovemaking scene is integral to the script, I will consider it.
I can't think of an instance at MSNBC where anything I said on the air was influenced by what was going on behind the scenes.
I was always intrigued with European cinema, and hated most American cinema. I didn't like the one, two, three - boom! style, with a neat and tidy ending. That was never my scene.
I am simply not interested, at this point, in creating narrative scenes between characters.
I am so excited to extend myself behind the scenes as a designer and to - as my father puts it - finally have a real job.
My instinct was that it was Sidney's childhood in the Bahamas that gave him the fearlessness to fight racism. So this documentary was a kind of rounding out of what had begun in that scene in In the Heat of the Night.
I don't know Gov. Palin. I've certainly seen her, since she came on the scene, you know, running with John McCain.
Acting with creatures that aren't there is kind like acting with an actor who refuses to come out of his trailer. You still have to go on and do the scene.
Steve Carell is the most spectacular ad-lib improviser ever. And just doing a scene with him, it's just one incredible topping himself on every take.
