Material Quotes

The Piano Lesson’ is very sophisticated, easily the most adult or complex material I’ve attempted. It’s the first film I’ve written that has a proper story, and it was a big struggle for me to write. It meant I had to admit the power of narrative Picture Quote #1

Liberace’s a great film. It’s a great piece of material. I have a great script and it’s a great score Picture Quote #1

A lot of modern film scoring is about a lack of themes, so I try to find ways of using music that doesn’t necessarily have thematic material in it to make the points when there is thematic material even stronger. It’s cool to be able to combine old and new Picture Quote #1

My career is based primarily upon finding a balance with a director and their vision, and that means sublimating my own personal ego toward their material Picture Quote #1

I’m finding myself very comfortable talking to medical audiences, and proving to them that underlying the material fields of the universe are force fields Picture Quote #1

It’s also a question of finding good material and interesting roles. I’m not the only actress out there, and good parts just don’t fall into your lap that easily. But I like most of the films I’ve made recently and so I’m pretty positive about the future Picture Quote #1

My creative process isn’t a long one, so I could have started a song 10 years ago and then finish it 10 years later. It’s all just about pushing around words and melodies, for me. The material is kind of shape-shifting Picture Quote #1

First, you do a piece of material that begins and ends and has a flow; it’s not chopped up as in a film, where in an extreme case you might be doing the last scene of the script the first day that you go to work, and you don’t know enough about the character you’re playing Picture Quote #1

HAPPINESS comes first by what comes into your head a long time before material BLESSINGS come into your hand Picture Quote #1

Memories, impressions and emotions from the first 20 years on earth are most writers’ main material; little that comes afterward is quite so rich and resonant Picture Quote #1

The first science fiction show on television was ‘Tales Of Tomorrow’ using scripts from the radio show ‘X-1’ which used stories from ‘Galaxy Magazine’ as its source material Picture Quote #1

Every man is the builder of a temple, called his body, to the God he worships, after a style purely his own, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead. We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood and bones. Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man’s features, any meanness or sensuality to imbrute them Picture Quote #1

Somehow, we have come to the erroneous belief that we are all but flesh, blood, and bones, and that’s all. So we direct our values to material things Picture Quote #1

Possession of the pure synthetic specimens of the anthocyanidins and chief anthocyanins enabled my wife and me to devise quick tests for these colouring matters which can be used with the material from a few flower petals Picture Quote #1

Modern scientific knowledge appeared piecemeal. Historians wrote about human history; physicists tackled the material world; and biologists studied the world of living organisms. But there were few links between these disciplines, as researchers focused on getting the details right Picture Quote #1

Biocides, for example, are designed to kill bacteriaÂ-it’s not a benign material Picture Quote #1

I think there’s a karmic purpose that souls make before they decide to come into people’s bodies and become someone’s parent, or become someone’s child. Maybe my dad disappearing was his way of giving me material with which to work, or a predisposition to feel heightened emotions Picture Quote #1

The force of nonviolence is infinitely more wonderful and subtle than the material forces of nature, like electricity Picture Quote #1

As a result of playing Freddy Krueger, I can remember having to look at some medical books, and at some of the disfigurement that fire can cause on people, because they were the source material for some of the prosthetic makeup that I wore. That aided and abetted this fear of death by fire. Which is sort of what happened to Fred Krueger Picture Quote #1

In writing fiction, I can be free. I can use my life. The raw material is my experiences Picture Quote #1

It’s a mental fake-out to myself. I make believe I’m making a new show so I forget the material I was working on and make up some fresh material Picture Quote #1

Sometimes a fresh perspective is all you need to get a second wind on the revision process. Try viewing your material on a different medium; it will shed a new light on the inconsistencies in the dark Picture Quote #1

The psyche is highly flammable material. So we are always wrapping things in asbestos, keeping our images and fantasies at arm’s length because they are so full of love Picture Quote #1

I’m proud of ‘The Hidden.’ I feel like we took a B-movie and kind of turned it into an A-minus action movie. We kind of elevated the material a little bit. It’s got a great car-chase scene at the very beginning. It has some terrific moments in it, some funny stuff. It’s a great rental Picture Quote #1

When I was in New York, I got to see Joan Rivers do an hour of material, and it blew my mind. I don’t remember how old she was at the time, but she just had this edgy hour that had so much funny stuff in it, and she was so fearless. If you only watch her on the red carpet, you don’t get a sense of what a legendary standup comedian she is Picture Quote #1

I don’t write material. Funny things happen to me in the course of a day, and I just make notes Picture Quote #1

Insider trading is hard to prove. To be convicted, a person must have bought or sold a stock based on material information that is both unknown to the general public and likely to have had an important effect on a company’s stock price Picture Quote #1

I’d like to guest star on ‘Game of Thrones.’ I love period pieces and dark material. I think the show has a good balance of that and some solid characters Picture Quote #1

You see the genius that Whitney Houston has as an interpreter of material, and you realize why genius can be applied to only a few interpretive performers. She finds meaning and depth and soulfulness in a song that often the writer and composer never really knew was there Picture Quote #1
