Dialogue Quotes

There’s something great about terrible westerns. They look like gay dancers and bad, overwrought dialogue and overacting, black and white sped up horses Picture Quote #1

The 20th century was the century of war and blood. The 21st century is the century of dialogue Picture Quote #1

Every element, from dialogue to setting, plotting to character creation, is laid out and illustrated with examples. But the tone of the book is not that of a dry writing manual - it’s definitely written for teenagers Picture Quote #1

To learn bad dialogue is so difficult and so boring, and to work with a stupid director who tells you to do the wrong thing, etcetera, it’s just unbearable Picture Quote #1

Broadway musicals, where you sing the whole time, I really don’t like; I like alternating dialogue and music Picture Quote #1

The dialogue between client and architect is about as intimate as any conversation you can have, because when you’re talking about building a house, you’re talking about dreams Picture Quote #1

I believe very much in a dialogue between buildings - I believe it’s always been there. I think buildings have different identities and live very well next to each other. We always have the shock of the new, and that’s fine. The renaissance style is totally different from the medieval, and they have a dialogue across time Picture Quote #1

In business, there’s a constant focus on developing strategies, reviewing executive performance against those strategies each year, engaging with opposing or different points of view, and having intellectual dialogue Picture Quote #1

I think we don’t do a service to dialogue between science and faith to characterize sincere people by calling them names. That inspires an even more dug-in position Picture Quote #1

With the work that I do as a director, I’ve got dialogue, camera movement, and character blocking to help create a tone to the piece. In photography, those elements are somewhat void so that tone becomes a bit more subtle but still equally important Picture Quote #1

You can’t instruct an audience to laugh, but what you can do is read well and understand the spirit and subtleties, if there are any, in the dialogue Picture Quote #1

With ‘Captain America,’ you might have three lines of dialogue the whole day. And there are just a million angles and a million set-ups, and it’s tedious Picture Quote #1

In my own life, when I was most inspired by a teacher, it always involved a real dialogue, a looseness and a real caring and compassion. It was not without rigor, not without discipline, not without standards, but all that was done out of love Picture Quote #1

I have no illusions that my work can rouse the masses to create change, because literature simply doesn’t have that power anymore in my country, if it does anywhere. But I do hope that it can be read by those who are in positions to create change, or that it can at least be part of that dialogue Picture Quote #1

One line of dialogue that rings true reveals character in a way that pages of description can’t Picture Quote #1

There’s a point I can get to where I start writing character and then through the dialogue, after all of this preparation, the thing starts to feel like it’s a character developing through the dialogue. A lot of character traits do come from writing dialogue, but I have to be ready to do it Picture Quote #1

Growing up the son of a director has made me very aware of the various turns that a directing career can take. Sometimes your films turn out exactly as you want. Sometimes they don’t. I spent a lot of my childhood on sets. I think as a joke, my father gave me a line of dialogue in each of his films during the worst moments of my puberty Picture Quote #1

The Chinese Government and I myself have always attached great importance to China-U.S. relations. In the new historic era, I look forward to working together with you to continuously strengthen dialogue and exchanges between our two countries Picture Quote #1

I must have dialogue with the Chinese government, and dialogue requires compromise. Therefore, I’m speaking for genuine self-rule, not for independence Picture Quote #1

Everybody can make a choice to be more positive. It’s about who you hang around and what you choose to watch on TV. What environment you put yourself in. It’s easy to get a negative internal dialogue. You have to be aware of what’s playing in your mind Picture Quote #1

... Because we are rooted in a generous Christian heritage, we are eager to collaborate with people of other faiths, and those seeking the common good. Our networks of dialogue and action thus extend beyond Christian communities to persons of all faiths, as well as to communities that are not themselves faith-based. We welcome allies and allegiances wherever we find common cause. Picture Quote #1

And it will need the engagement of all stakeholders - including the private sector and civil society, and especially the poor and marginalized Picture Quote #1

My hope always when I am working with a new client is that I will cultivate a relationship with them: develop a dialogue and a way of working. This makes it easy for a star to trust you Picture Quote #1

For all forms, writing dialogue is almost like writing music. I pay close attention to rhythms and tones Picture Quote #1

What’s the fun in approaching something closed-minded? I’m very specific; if dialogue is too on-the-nose, or there’s a lot of telling and not showing, I’ll talk to my manager and let them know the problems I have with it. But, I always go in with fresh eyes. The first pass just needs to be about figuring out little things here and there Picture Quote #1
