Open your heart and invite God into every circumstance because when God enters the scene, miracles happen.
I loved being behind the scenes and finding out how they make movies.
Coltrane came to New Orleans one day and he was talking about the jazz scene. And Coltrane mentions that the problem with jazz was that there were too few groups.
I don't get very involved in the L. A. scene. When you do get invited out, you are expected to be on all the time. It's just wearying.
Shooting in New York can be a problem. I had to walk through a crowd, come in the front door, and play the scene.
Every book has got its challenges. You run into a plot point that you can't figure out, or a scene that you struggle to write and have to write 50 times.
As they spoke, the only thing I could think about was that scene from Julius Caesar where Brutus stabs him in the back. Et tu, Eric?
As this world was not intended to be a state of any great satisfaction or high enjoyment, so neither was it intended to be a mere scene of unhappiness and sorrow.
Since I am a person who starts work without clear knowledge of a storyline, every single scene is a pivotal scene.
The stage is the opposite: you are talking loud so you can project to the back row and you know the whole play. In a movie, you are scene-to-scene; you only know the purpose of that scene. On the stage, that is artistic science. It is real, it is loving, it is truthfully you. It is two different formulas to make two different art pieces, but it is all about truth.
It is the same in life: sometimes it is more difficult to make a scene than to die.
There are elements of that, where you'll see a scene again and you'll recognize it, but I wouldn't say it's got one conceit like that, at all. It definitely has those jokes, but it would be wrong to say this is a show where, every time you see it, you see a new angle.
Till now I have never shot a scene without taking account of what stands behind the actors because the relationship between people and their surroundings is of prime importance.
I like getting carried away by what is happening and then decide each scene based on the actors, the set and the light.
Doing a scene truthfully is very similar to doing a song truthfully. They're really parallel.
Horror itself in that fair scene looks gay, And joy springs up e'en in the midst of fear. [It. , Bello in si bella vista anco e l'orrore, E di mezzo la tema esce il diletto. ]
I hurt myself doing a fight scene with some dwarves.
General improvisations often give actors an insight beyond their words by helping them to 'see the word' and achieve a reality for the scene.
Well, it's more of a sane life to be part of an ensemble! I find that the work can be more specific too and I have to really make sure I know where I am in the story because I'm not in every scene.
If a comic comes out on the scene and it's really knock-out brilliant, the community is pretty good about getting the word about good newcomers.
