Antonio Campos Quotes
It's interesting because I think dark characters are fun to explore in films. And the reality is we want to make these movies. We're having fun making them. Some scenes are fucking hard and uncomfortable, but most of the time between we're having a really good time making them. It's interesting exploring scary characters, they're so far away from you, but they're still human. Trying to find monsters among us in that kind of way, but people that are seemingly normal. We're all kind of drawn to that kind of character.

Sometimes it's less about the character and more about the story for me. I'll play a rock in the background if I think the story is fantastic and I can be a part of it somehow. That's what I look for.
Zoe Kravitz
What works for me is knowing the character in an emotional sense. I wish I was more logical but it doesn't work for me like that. I need quite a lot of time; it's why I always worry when I'm doing more than one thing at a time. I hope that some sort of magic will kick in.

People talk about Hollywood as a myth, but in reality, when you make Icelandic movies and you want to get them distributed in the U.S., you're not really working with Hollywood.

I'm a storyteller, and I was an actor, so I have a fairly thin grip on reality to begin with.
Taylor Sheridan
Usually I'm pretty myopic. It's hard for me to multi-task, so to speak. If I'm in a show and I'm creating a character, I'm just completely into that. It's really hard for me to do anything else like write music. I have to sort of shut down different sides of my head and just focus.
Idina Menzel
The trick to acting is not to show off; it's to think the thoughts of the character. I was lucky because when I started acting, it was doing jobs above pubs. I learned to act in anonymity, so by the time people saw me, I knew what I was doing. I was crap for years, but no one saw me being crap. It's a trade you learn.
Eddie Marsan
Once a landscape is industrialized, its wild character is lost for good. You can't recreate untouched tundra, mountain meadows, crystal clear streams, and animals that have never encountered toxic waste.
Frances Beinecke
If your character is just out there acting a fool, viewers are gonna say, 'Why am I watching this?' But if he's whispering, 'I don't really want to die,' there's a level of vulnerability cemented in these bad characters.
Omari Hardwick
My natural inclination to be improv rather than an educated character serves me well.
Gary Vaynerchuk
Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of character, and it may be confidently asserted that he, who is cruel to living creatures, cannot be a good man. Moreover, this compassion manifestly flows from the same source whence arise the virtues of justice and loving-kindness towards men.
Arthur Schopenhauer
One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike-and yet it is the most precious thing we have.
Albert Einstein
Prince would have been the person I thought would live forever because of the way he took care of himself - not counting the fact he jumped off risers in 6-inch heels. He probably had fractures from his feet all the way up to his head.

You cannot think when you're ecstatic.
Antony Garrett Lisi
Words are beautiful but restricted. They're very masculine, with a compact frame. But voice is over the dark, the place where there's nothing to hang on: it comes from a part of yourself that simply knows, expresses itself, and is.
Jeff Buckley
