When you are working on a script, the story itself is not difficult. You say this would happen and then this, resulting perhaps in this. And the dialogue you make as true as you can.

You must find the note, the correct key, for your story. If you find it, everything will work. If you do not, everything will stick out like elbows.

I didn't feel like going any further in this scene with the boy. He was not a professional actor, and if I had pushed the scene any further it would have destroyed the tone of the movie.

Well, Fellini... there is always Fellini.

You see the world much better through a camera.

Although his personality is generally quite agreeable, Mr Murdoch has no loyalty to anyone or anything except his company.

My whole team, it wasn't about putting the album out, it was about getting off the record company and going independent or going to another label. To the point we were like, 'Listen, just take 'Lasers.' You can have whatever percentage off the next ten records I do for the rest of my life. I just do not want to be here anymore.'

The simple truth is that everyone has an opinion, everyone has the right to voice it, and they should if they want to.

Pageant makeup is so different from your day-to-day look. When you're on stage you really have to pack it on.

The 'here' of Watts is pastel houses with window gratings in curly patterns. 'Here' is yard sales with bins full of stuffed animals and used water guns. Here is Crips turf.

I kind of love my work. I really love the pieces I do.

Publishers can use realtime ad technology to build their brand on the realtime web. Realtime ad technology gets their hottest content in front of users seconds after it is published, ensuring that their content gets shared and becomes viral before their competitors.

I knew that there were black people in Africa, of course, unfortunately because of movies such as 'Tarzan.'

I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably do make-up and beauty and hair and something creative like styling; I really enjoy it.

My mom and I would make bracelets and necklaces, and I would sell it in the first, second, and third grades because that was my lunch money.

I would love it if you would come in and teach me how to really do you.

'Evening Shade' was such an eye-opening experience. I was 19 when I went on that show. I had barely had an acting class. So as Burt Reynolds continued to bring me back for the next three years, I learned so much from him and all the other legends that were on the show.

I think with one exception I've never changed an opening sentence after a book was completed.

Id rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.

I'm not sure I believe in the whole 'ghost-afterlife' thing, but I think places are marked by people who have been there.

Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing.

The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it, because it's only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles, wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.

There's only one common element that united every writer I've admired... they're all incredibly well-read.

To be honest, I was kind of a shy kid growing up.

Every man on the planet should do some physical work: he should help in the bread-labor of mankind. He should also do some of the intellectual work: he should help in the thought-labor of mankind. In a word, every thinker should work, and every worker should think.

In short, it is the position of the people of the United States, as expressed by their representatives in Congress, that Israel's fight is our fight. And so shall it be until the last terrorist on earth is in a cell or a cemetery.

I like the freedom of podcasting. With podcasting you can really mess around with the form and the format. You can do as much time as you like without having to pause for commercials.

The whole celebrity thing is not something I'm overly interested in. I don't pop up at parties. It's just not my thing.

I'm still finding myself as an artist. I'm still experimenting a little bit.
