The term "genre" eventually becomes pejorative because you're referring to something that's so codified and ritualised that it ceases to have the power and meaning it had when it first started. ~Christopher Nolan
#quotes #christopher-nolan

Here's the thing, for me at least: this is a huge genre now. It wasn't always so. Not so many years ago, it wasn't so. There is a tremendous diversity in fantasy today. ~R. A. Salvatore

You have to believe in love stories and prince charming and that eventually you'll find your own happily ever after. ~Taylor Swift

We all know from growing up with TV that John Wells shows are usually very large ensembles with amazingly written characters. He tends to redefine the way stories are told in a specific genre, whether it's "China Beach," "The West Wing," or "E.R." ~Michael Cudlitz
#quotes #michael-cudlitz #john-wells #tv
Memoir is actually the most egoless genre, even though it might seem ostensibly so much ego-driven. In order for it to succeed, you have to dissolve the self into these larger universal truths, and explore these deeper mysteries. If it's purely autobiographical and ego-driven, it's going to fail. ~Nick Flynn

Imagination is cheap as long as you don't have to worry about the details. ~Daniel Dennett
#quotes #daniel-dennett #imagination
I mean, sometimes, a comedian becomes an actor, and they just don't deliver, because the bottom line of comedy is to be funny, and the bottom line of acting is to be truthful, and they get that mixed up sometimes, or don't even notice that that's the thing. ~Eddie Izzard
#quotes #eddie-izzard #acting #comedy
Long-term relationships are an everyday choice. It is harder to be in a marriage than it is to bounce from one relationship to the next. ~Pink

After all the evidence is in, after you've run all the facts by everything you know, and you're still lost, you have to do some things on faith. ~Christopher Moore

Let me tell you something. For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback. ~Michelle Obama
#quotes #michelle-obama #patriotism
All the seven deadly sins are self destroying, morbid appetites, but in their early stages at least, lust and gluttony, averice and sloth know some gratification, while anger and pride have power, even though that power eventually destroys itself. Envy is impotent, numbed with fear, never ceasing in its appetite, and it knows no gratification, but endless self torment. It has the ugliness of a trapped rat, which gnaws its own foot in an effort to escape. ~Angus Wilson

#quotes #james-stewart #acting
I'm happy that I was able to experience a normal life besides show business, because it gives you something to draw from. ~Ashley Tisdale
