Wilbur Smith
I think it's really difficult to justify converting a f

I think it’s really difficult to justify converting a film that wasn’t shot in 3-D into 3-D. I really do believe, as does James Cameron and all the people who are actually pro-3-D, that you have to go out and shoot it that way. You have nothing but compromise if you don’t.
David Slade

When 9/11 happened, I was like, ‘I gotta do something.’ I went and talked to the recruiters, and I found out about the Special Forces 18X program. They take qualified people off the street, and they give them a shot at Special Forces. I was like, ‘So I could go try out for Special Forces?’

I’ll tell you what I would do in a shot if I could. I would sing in the barbershop quartet in The Music Man.

The logistics of blood is something that I didn’t even understood as a first-time director. Not just actors and make-up, but once a set gets bloody, you don’t un-blood it. Once something gets bloody, you either rebuild the set, or you just don’t get the shot.

William Temple
‘Play It Again Sam’s opening shot is the same as ‘Purple Rose’s final one: a close-up of a face, rapt in a movie house. I’ve certainly felt that in my life. I’ve been known to cry watching Gene Kelly.

Natalie Dormer
For 'Blue Jasmine,' I made a decision not to wear any m

I shot a pilot for ABC, which I’m a bit confused about what the actual title is – I heard it was called ‘Chosen.’ It’s directed by Roland Emmerich – the master of disaster himself – and it’s his idea and concept for the show that’s a supernatural thriller about good and evil set in contemporary modern day New York.

When you make a movie, you do it so piecemeal. You’re doing it, not only scene by scene, out of order, but shot by shot, line by line. And there’s this idea that the director has the whole thing in his or her head and they’re going to somehow weave it all together in the end.
Jason Reitman
I must say, to be very honest about it, that I held in my mind during the life of the Commission, that there had been three shots and that a separate shot struck Governor Connally.

Abhinav Bindra

Gavin MacLeod

Cindy Gallop
Not missing games, miss one game due to injury in my career, and that even hurt me to miss that game, but I just love to get out there and compete, both ends of the ball, and I don’t think I’m afraid to take the big shot. If I’m 2-for-15, I’m not afraid to take that shot, make it 3-for-16.
Klay Thompson
I’ve had jobs that allow me the flexibility to achieve work-life balance, to be there when one of the kids sinks a jump shot or for the parent-teacher meetings. I can move tasks around. If I don’t get something done at the office at 4:30 in the afternoon, I can go back to it at 10:00 in the evening.
Tom Perez
I think I would love a shot at remaking ‘The Philadelphia Story,’ as daunting as it is. I still think it’s fantastic. I love the ’30s comedies because they’re allowed to be both comic and elegant, and the women are so complicated in them.
Michael Patrick King
‘Mayabazar’ was the film I immensely loved as a kid. Only when I became a filmmaker about 20 years later did I realise its technical marvel and what a great epic it was. I and my visual effects supervisor, while making ‘Yamadonga,’ took two days to understand the magnification shot of Ghatothkatcha’s persona.
