I am not against songs in films. We come from an oral tradition of storytelling. I have grown up listening to epics in oral rendition and oral rendition always had music.
One of my pet peeves about biblical epics was that the characters' costumes always looked like they're just out of the dry cleaners.
Audiences are always better pleased with a smart retort, some joke or epigram, than with any amount of reasoning.
An artist's duty is rather to stay open-minded and in a state where he can receive information and inspiration. You always have to be ready for that little artistic Epiphany.
I've always felt that I wanted to make a Marvel film... I just want to make sure I'm not making an episode.
But epistemology is always and inevitably personal. The point of the probe is always in the heart of the explorer: What is my answer to the question of the nature of knowing?
Epistemology has always been affected by technologies like the telescope and the microscope, things that have created a radical shift in how we sense physical reality.
My stepmother appeared when I was about 9. My brother was sent off to an institute in Scotland & my sister & I were sent to school. As my stepmother's ideas were then wholly Quaker, mixed with a naive & charming innocence & a little snobbery, it was one dotty epoch on top of another. I always remained terrified of my father.
All I can do will only ever be a faint image of what I see and my success will always be less than my failure or perhaps equal to the failure.
I've always believed in equal pay for equal work.
I feel sympathy for the working class lad. I've always championed about ticket prices and try to equate that to people's salaries.
Let us note that art - even on an abstract level - has never been confined to 'idea'; art has always been the 'realized' expression of equilibrium.
I really wasn't equipped to be a writer when I left Oxford. But then I set out to learn. I've always had the highest regard for the craft. I've always felt it was work.
My relationships were never equitable. My husbands were always older than me, and they made the rules, they ran the show, and I followed them.
Bigotry has always been the poison of America, and we oughta do everything to eradicate it with no excuses or explanations.
Progress is always relative: to the oppressed, it can only be viewed as an all or nothing deal - if oppression continues, even in a modified form, then the system must still be attacked until that injustice is eradicated.
The '60s is one of my favourite eras in general. I love '60s music, and I've always wanted to do a period film.
The past can never be erased. It is always going to be there.
My mom always said I was the peacemaker in the family. My older brother, Eric, was the leader, the creative one. I was just his puppet.
There is always tension in women's gymnastics between athleticism, grace, performance, and eros.
