Version Quotes

I’m a huge, huge fan of almost everything British. I love ‘The Office’ - I was a faithful follower of that show before the American version Picture Quote #1

I had the luxury of falling down a few times and picking myself up as a stronger version of myself Picture Quote #1

In some ways, it’s easier to settle for someone else’s version of success than to risk falling short at one’s own Picture Quote #1

My plan for the online version of ‘Famous Monsters’ is to become an online ‘uncle’ to an entire group of people who have never read or heard of ‘Famous Monsters of Filmland.’ The site will not be written in a scholarly fashion. It will be written in a playful, ‘Hey, check this out!’ kind of way Picture Quote #1

My favorite-ever version of ‘King Lear’ is the 1971 film by Peter Brooks. He has this enormous fur thing, and it adds enormous gravitas Picture Quote #1

I have several books I can read over and over. With fiction, it’s ‘The Stand’ by Stephen King, which is my favorite all time. I read that at least once a year, the version which has 100,000 extra words, which is like the director’s cut and unabridged. I love the story. I love the social connotation to it Picture Quote #1

I myself don’t have Netflix. And recently, I was staying at a friend’s place who did, and I was feeling rather poorly one morning, and I sat down and watched the entire series of ‘The Killing,’ the American version of ‘The Killing’ in one day. I just got hooked. I thought, ‘Wow, I’ve never done this before.’ Picture Quote #1

I abhor the words ‘classical music.’ Few things satisfy me more than a really good cover version Picture Quote #1

One of the things that makes characters real is details. Life offers a lot of details. You just have to choose and use them wisely. When you give them to fictional people and a fictional story, their purpose and their meaning changes, so it’s best to see the version in the book as fiction entirely, wherever it started out Picture Quote #1

In 1916, Universal Studios released the first filmed adaptation of Jules Verne’s novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.’ Georges Melies made a film by that name in 1907, but, unlike his earlier adaptations of Verne, Melies’ version bears no resemblance to the book Picture Quote #1

Films for TV have to be much closer to the book, mainly because the objective with a TV movie that translates literature is to get the audience, after seeing this version, to pick up the book and read it themselves. My attitude is that TV can never really be any form of art, because it serves audience expectations Picture Quote #1

I did an early version of my site where it was virtually impossible to get through it, just as a statement about the web. But after a few laughs and some angry e-mails, I realized it wasn’t doing me much good. I think the web has become more about the final product, not what it takes to get to it Picture Quote #1

When you see a merger between two giants in a declining industry, it can look like the financial version of a couple having a baby to save a marriage Picture Quote #1

I worry about every newspaper. I worry about the financial undertaking, and I worry that somehow the loss of the sale of the paper version will affect their ability to have journalists and editors and producers. We really need those Picture Quote #1

When I was eight or nine years old, I saw the TV version of 47 Ronin, played by Toshiro Mifune. He played Oishi. That was my first experience. I watched every week with my brother. Who plays Oishi tonight? Who will play Kira tonight? And we fought every week Picture Quote #1

Five or six songs leaked from the original version of ‘Encore.’ So I had to go in and make new songs to replace them Picture Quote #1

Of course I am for stopping violence against women. It is unfortunate that the Senate Democrats are making the current re-authorization of Violence Against Women bill into a political football. The Republicans are offering an improved version of the reauthorization bill and I want to review it Picture Quote #1

Kitsch is much more than a question of style; it’s a preference for consolation over truth. Disney’s version of reality is not just cleaned up, it’s pernicious. Unlike the best forms of art and philosophy, it undercuts the possibility of transformation because it portrays a world that’s just fine as it is--or as it will be by the time the credits come up Picture Quote #1

Anyone with an inbox knows what I’m talking about. A dozen emails to set up a meeting time. Documents attached and edited and reedited until no one knows which version is current. Urgent messages drowning in forwards and cc’s and spam Picture Quote #1

I spent a long time experimenting, saying, ‘Here’s a record that’s free, or $5 if you want a nice version or $250 if you’d like a really nice coffee-table thing.’ Everything felt like the right thing to do at the time and then six months later would feel tired. And I would feel tired. So that’s one reason for returning to a major label Picture Quote #1

Your stage persona is usually a version of yourself, to varying degrees. Some folks do a full-on character, so that’s different. But most comics do some version of themselves Picture Quote #1

I was working for a Swedish TV show - I’m Swedish - who basically did kind of spectacular stories. It was almost like CBS 60 Minutes,’ but a Swedish version where we actually did travel quite a lot. After a while, I realized that travel is the most fun part of this, so why not do it for a longer time and just go off and explore? Picture Quote #1

I would love to play ‘Funny Girl’ or ‘Evita,’ but I idolize the women who have played those parts. I don’t know if there needs to be another version of those shows Picture Quote #1

It’s funny how humans can wrap their mind around things and fit them into their version of reality Picture Quote #1

I once heard someone doing a karaoke version of my song. That was pretty funny Picture Quote #1

If ‘why’ was the first and last question, then ‘because I was curious to see what would happen’ was the first and last answer. A version of it had been spoken to God Himself in the Garden of Eden, and it was destined to be the reason for the end of things at the hands of man Picture Quote #1

Some version of ‘Deal or No Deal’ airs in 120 countries. And they play it exactly the same way, with models and briefcases. It crosses language and culture and gender, because it’s the simplest game in the world, and everyone wants to press their luck Picture Quote #1

I’m like the female version of George Clooney in ‘Up in the Air.’ I have to have an eye mask, and Amore Pacific has this cream face mask that’s moisturizing. Moisture is so important in the stuffy, dry air on a plane Picture Quote #1

The juggernaut that is steampunk, like Dr. Loveless’s giant mechanical spider in the 1999 film version of ‘The Wild, Wild West,’ seems capable of crushing all naysayers Picture Quote #1

I’d call it a new version of voodoo economics, but I’m afraid that would give witch doctors a bad name Picture Quote #1
