Text Quotes
Violence never settles anything right: apart from injuring your own soul, it injures the best cause. It lingers on long after the object of hate has disappeared from the scene to plague the lives of those who have employed it against their foes  (Scene Quotes) Some writers can produce marvelous plots without planning it out, but I can’t. In particular I need to know the structure of a novel: what’s going to happen in each chapter and each scene  (Scene Quotes) What I don’t like is when I see stuff that I know has had a lot of improv done or is playing around where there’s no purpose to the scene other than to just be funny. What you don’t want is funny scene, funny scene, funny scene, and now here’s the epiphany scene and then the movie’s over  (Scene Quotes) What distinguishes a great mnemonist, I learned, is the ability to create lavish images on the fly, to paint in the mind a scene so unlike any other it cannot be forgotten. And to do it quickly. Many competitive mnemonists argue that their skills are less a feat of memory than of creativity  (Scene Quotes) You rarely find someone who sings really well and who produces really well; it’s a problem, and I just think it’s a missing link in the music scene  (Scene Quotes) Of course, actors look forward to the day when they can do a big courtroom scene  (Scene Quotes) Working on a film, the setup for an action sequence takes a long time, and we need to shoot the scene many times to get different angles  (Scene Quotes) To return after long years of painful absence to some place which has been the scene of our former joys, and whence the force of circumstance, and not choice, has driven us, is oppressive to the heart  (Scene Quotes) You never know what you do that could be totally out of left field, which actually might work and give something fresh to the whole scene, to the character, whatever. If you have that with a director who then knows how to shape it, either in the direction, in the moment, or in the editing, then that’s good  (Scene Quotes) That’s what sets apart one actor from another, and that you can’t teach. You can’t give someone that. When you’re working, putting a character together, or in a scene, that’s where things will happen that you have to have the intuition to notice them, and to register them  (Scene Quotes) When I was a younger actor, I would try to keep it serious all day. But I have found, later on, that the lighter I am about things when I’m going to do a big scene that’s dramatic and takes a lot out of you, the better off I am when I come to it  (Scene Quotes) The key is just to ignore the pain, because physical comedy only works if you see someone get hurt and they aren’t actually hurt. If someone gets hit in the face with a bat, falls down, and gets back up, it’s funny. If they stay down and their jaw is wired shut in the next scene, it’s really tragic and weird. You have to pretend it doesn’t hurt  (Scene Quotes) It takes stamina to get up like an athlete every single night, seven to eight performances a week, 20 weeks in a row. And there are many young performers who only learn their craft in the two minute bits it takes to film a scene. You never learn the arc of storytelling, the arc of a character that way  (Scene Quotes) I will walk out on a scene if it’s all lit and ready to go but it’s not happening  (Scene Quotes) Every artist joins a conversation that’s been going on for generations, even millennia, before he or she joins the scene  (Scene Quotes) Violence is so terribly fast... the most perverse thing about the movies is the way they portray it in slow motion, allowing it to be something sensuous... the viewer’s lips slightly wet as the scene plays out. Violence is nothing like that. It is lightning fast, chaotic, and totally intangible  (Scene Quotes) Before you tell yourself its a different scene remember its just different from what you’ve seen  (Scene Quotes) It is hard for me to imagine that I felt good about behaving like that. I also remember that the smallest gesture of affection would bring a lump to my throat, whether it was directed at me or at someone else. Sometimes all it took was a scene in a movie. This juxtaposition of callousness and extreme sensitivity seemed suspicious even to me  (Scene Quotes) I put my fingers around the unmarked ring of the spyglass and twisted. The scene became clear. Oh no! A hairy brown spider clung to a vine! I couldn’t go there! I’d go to the desert to find a dragon. I began to reset the spyglass, but then I stopped myself. A spider was worse than a dragon? No. My first monsters would be spiders, then  (Scene Quotes) Nightly you retrace your steps again to return to the scene of the crime. It’s uncanny how you hover in the air of the wreckage that you left behind  (Scene Quotes) Starting with a party scene for 600 cast and end up singing on top of a giant elephant... does it get any better than this?  (Scene Quotes) Being a fiction writer is really like being an actor, because if you’re going to write convincingly it has to sound right and play right. The only way that works is to emotionally and technically act out and see the scene you’re in. There’s no better job in the world, because when I sit down at that computer I’m the world’s best forensics expert, if that’s what I’m writing about that day. Or I’m some crazed psycho running down a dark alley. Or I’m a gorgeous woman looking to find a man that night. Whatever! But I’m all of those things, every day. How can you beat that?  (Scene Quotes) ……, but as I am a scholar I feel obliged to document what it is like here, most of the time, between the dramatic climaxes. In truth it is like this: You cannot imagine how time can be so still. It hangs. It weighs, and yet there is so little of it. It goes so slowly and it is so scarce. If I was writing this scene it would last a full 15 minutes. I would lie here and you would sit there  (Scene Quotes) Hello, darling. Sorry about that. Sorry about the bony elbows, sorry we lived here, sorry about the scene at the bottom of the stairwell and how I ruined everything by saying it out loud. Especially that, but I should have known. You see, I take the parts that I remember and stitch them back together to make a creature that will do what I say or love me back  (Scene Quotes) The scene was set. All that was required was an action, a cold start, instant and brutal as beginnings always are  (Scene Quotes) They hadn’t much faith in travel, nor a great belief in a change of scene as a panacea for spiritual ills; they were simply glad to be going  (Scene Quotes) Whatever you decide is your motivation in the scene, the opposite of that is also true and should be in it  (Scene Quotes) Every scene you will ever act begins in the middle, and it is up to you, the actor, to provide what comes before  (Scene Quotes) Take nothing for granted. Make an emotional discovery as often as you can find one in every scene. Ask yourself: What is new?  (Scene Quotes) An expression of feeling isn’t worth anything unless it interferes with what the other actor in the scene wants  (Scene Quotes)
