Scene Quotes

I had the privilege of playing an angel on ‘Touched by an Angel’ for many years - almost two decades, and we would deliver a message on the show. The message was that God loves them, and before filming every scene, we would come together and pray Picture Quote #1

As I work, I see my writing - each scene, each chapter, each section, each book - in three-act structures and classic myths, and I analyze them through the handy filter of the detective story Picture Quote #1

First lead [in a movie] requires a different approach like trying not to give it all away in the first scene. It is a skill, a learned skill Picture Quote #1

There’s a very different kind of psychology going on in the fashion scene than in art. When artists connect to a system because they want to make a living, it’s their own choice. In fashion, designers don’t have that choice Picture Quote #1

If you explode onto the scene at a very young age, there are so many people pulling you in different directions. It takes time to recalibrate and see what’s important Picture Quote #1

Writers divide fairly cleanly into those who only work through what they hear and those who are more visual. I am the latter, where I lie down on my office floor and play scenes through my head to - cinematically, several times with different elements - to see what works. I can’t write a scene until I can see it Picture Quote #1

Adaptability is crucial to working on Glee because every day is adapting to something. Because we’re doing a different genre of music, doing a different type of scene with a different scene partner, recording and dance rehearsals... no day is like another Picture Quote #1

I often will write a scene from three different points of view to find out which has the most tension and which way I’m able to conceal the information I’m trying to conceal. And that is, at the end of the day, what writing suspense is all about Picture Quote #1

The view of the local scene through the eyes of a native participant in that scene is a different window Picture Quote #1

I think I do have a way of predicting - not always accurately - what is a nerve-wracking day for actors, what may be a difficult scene or a difficult moment, how small - and it may be down to one line - a thing maybe that is upsetting or undermining a performance Picture Quote #1

I’ve had some painful experiences in my life, but I feel like I’m trivializing them by using them for a scene in a movie. I don’t want to do that. It just makes me feel kind of dirty for having done that Picture Quote #1

I think most of us can remember from our own childhood, just in the Disney cartoons, things that frightened us profoundly. For me it was Bambi, the scene when the forest was on fire. That was something I had nightmares about. I can’t imagine being a little kid of eight and seeing Night Of The Living Dead with living corpses eating the flesh of living people Picture Quote #1

The scene then as now was centered in New York. For the most part, I’ve kept a bit apart from that attractive and seductive city. I’ve done it by living in the country within commuting distance Picture Quote #1

There was a scene early on during the first season of Roswell and I broke down crying. Since then, I’ve always just been able to do it Picture Quote #1

I was very glad later when I was directing that I wasn’t in the hands of a cinematographer and hoping that he would do it well. I would know what he was doing, and we could discuss how that scene would look Picture Quote #1

I’m too sensitive. I could not show up to a murder scene and do anything like that. It would break me instantly Picture Quote #1

Each day when I’m walking with my dog through the damp forest, I’m thinking about the atmosphere, and it often works its way into my next scene somehow Picture Quote #1

Before college, I acted in my room, to classical music, because music tells stories. I’d put on a record and proceed, silently. I’d keep putting the needle back to a certain segment because I hadn’t died well enough. I had to really, really feel dead. I’d love to do a death scene Picture Quote #1

You can still have chemistry on screen without getting on with the person. But it just makes your job a lot easier if you don’t have to gird your loins, if that’s not quite the right phrase, every time you’re going to do a scene with that person Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You can’t feel sorry for a scene. If the movie works without the scene, then you don’t need the scene Picture Quote #1

Indian films are always very passionate and romantic, and so long as the scene is done well aesthetically, I have no qualms doing it Picture Quote #1

Obviously, when you do something with drama and comedy in it - and by that, I mean a scene that has drama and comedy in it - you know the minute you introduce music, you’re either scoring the drama or you’re scoring the comedy, and therefore the scene becomes either dramatic or comedic Picture Quote #1

To me, always just - that scene is, like, so convenient. They never run out of bullets in action movies, unless it’s at the most dramatic time possible Picture Quote #1

Try drawing or painting a scene you’re working on. Often this will help free up you imagination Picture Quote #1

There’s nothing sexy about doing a nude scene. It’s rather uncomfortable. I like dressing up rather than dressing down Picture Quote #1

There’s a lot of people who don’t understand the touring and the party scene and it’s like, go to bed late, wake up early, drive for hours, play a show, meet crazy drunk people and all that stuff. I would rather be doing that than like McDonalds or something like that though. It’s definitely fun but it’s a lot of work Picture Quote #1

Everything we do on ‘Luck’ is absolutely no different than if we’d had been doing it in a feature film. There’s no short cuts. The specificity of what every single line might mean. Everything Dustin Hoffman does. Kevin Dunn is as authentic in the last scene of the last episode as he is in the first scene of the first episode Picture Quote #1

I had given myself a sort of early retirement when I left the scene in 1985. All of the people in my family worked until they dropped, including my father. I decided to take a little time to enjoy life. I traveled, built my dream house, rescued a few dogs. My return to music, and acting, was deliberate, part of my musical arc Picture Quote #1
