Too many actors try to get too much out of scenes that they ought to be leaving alone, just doing them quickly and getting the hell out.
'Lassie' was amazing. I didn't have any scenes with humans. There's a couple little bits, here or there, but mainly just me and my horse and a couple of dogs in the Isle of Man.
a story always sounds clear enough at a distance, but the nearer you get to the scene of events the vaguer it becomes.
If I have freedom to experiment with a scene, then I try my best to do that. With TV and with the variety of directors you have on a season, you rarely get that opportunity. It's more structured.
When we are in pre-production, this is the best job in the world. Working 10 to 7, sitting around and brainstorming with the other writers, making things funnier and writing and rewriting scenes - that's as fun as it gets.
When you suddenly appear on the scene and you are the new face, everything centers on you. I experienced this in my mid-20s and I found it rather hard.
Once there are more African Americans and Asian Americans behind the scenes as producers, writers, and directors, I think more inclusive casting will happen.
I hate when you see a film and after one scene you know what's going to happen and you can predict the whole story.
Actually, I didn't like Dartmouth very much, but the whole theater scene I really liked.
I think coughing up slugs was quite hard. Ron has a scene where he has to cough up these giant slugs.
If I talk to a girl, it's assumed that I'm having a scene with her. If I don't, then it's assumed that I'm gay.
You don't often see fight scenes with people who have no idea how to fight.
I've made humanitarian causes and my children much more my priority than the Hollywood scene, being liked and getting movie parts.
After the Rodgers and Hammerstein revolution, songs became part of the story, as opposed to just entertainments in between comedy scenes.
Because of the need to remove all modernism, we stayed in the middle of nowhere all day long, living out of tents. It was cold. It definitely set the scene.
Sometimes you have to delete characters from a scene just to keep from overcrowding the image.
As an actor I want to do as many takes as I can. I wanna shoot the scene... or shoot the shot 'til they make me quit.
The scenes in the show were filmed with a crew of really excellent stunt jumpers, but we had the feel of the parachutes, so we could be more realistic in the roles.
I didn't find it difficult to live in the 'Inherent Vice' world or play those scenes, because they just seemed so real.
The blues is the foundation, and it's got to carry the top. The other part of the scene, the rock 'n' roll and the jazz, are the walls of the blues.
I've known Larry Clark since I was fourteen. I've always skateboarded in Manhattan. Larry got into the scene in the early '90s, taking pictures and skating with us.
