I didn’t like my hair and makeup one time on a photo shoot, and my publicist told me, ‘You should just be happy with it – they haven’t had a black girl on the cover since forever.’ She’s no longer my publicist.
I shoot the ball so well that sometimes you fall in love with it and think it’ll get you out of certain situations.
If, indeed, a firearm were more dangerous to its possessors than to potential aggressors, would it not make sense for the government to arm all criminals, and let them accidentally shoot themselves? Is this absurd? Yes, and yet the government, of course, is arming criminals.
I was definitely nervous turning up on my first day to shoot with Woody Allen.
When you’re in a fighter jet and there’s a dark layer of clouds with just one blue hole with the sun going through it, you shoot for that hole. You go vertical into the light, and suddenly, instead of gray and dark, it’s light and blue. You are totally connected with the elements. You are in another world.
My first flight was in my early 20s, from New York City to Los Angeles, to shoot a Cherry 7-UP commercial.
I went to state in track, won the girls’ city championship, and did well in volleyball. I was a varsity cheerleader. So you know, shoot, I’ve got a couple of letters and things! Last I counted, I think there were eight in my mama’s house.
I’d read so much right-wing crime fiction where they find the evidence and shoot the bad guy – I thought there must be another approach.
And anyway, it’s only movies. to stop me I think they’ll ahve to shoot me in the head.
I can shoot a basket pretty well.
I have the whole costume from Playboy’s sixtieth-anniversary cover shoot.
It’s one thing to shoot yourself in the foot. Just don’t reload the gun.
I didn’t care about that because I’m not a diplomatic person to begin with. I just went along with things and did what I wanted to do because I knew they had to shoot their 12 pages a day. And when they realized that I didn’t alter the text they really didn’t mind what I did.
Doing a sitcom is like doing a play – you rehearse for three or four days, and then you shoot what you rehearsed on Friday night in front of an audience. An hour-long drama is like shooting a movie. You’re shooting 13-14 hour days. The endurance itself is different.
You know, I remember Career Day in high school. I remember plumbers and lawyers… I don’t remember a booth where you could sign up to learn how to shoot chickens out of a cannon at the windshield of an airplane, ’cause there would have been a line at my school to do that!
We had a script that was really solid and we knew how we were going to shoot and how the energy of it was going to go. So it gave us a lot of freedom to use the camera as a character.
New York is a fun place to shoot, but it’s definitely hectic.
A majority of my YouTube friends I’ve made because I made a trip down to California and literally tweeted them saying, ‘Hey! Come over – let’s shoot something!’ And then two strangers will just meet up, talk, and shoot something.
That’s the most difficult issue for me… to find a subject that holds my interest long enough that I’m prepared to go to work and spend the time and energy to shoot the subject.
I am happy to have now as Danny finally a more difficult role, in which I can shoot and fight.
When you go into a film, you read it, and something clicks for you, and you like it, and you sign on for it; you go for it. You know that this is going to be a good film, and that is your best hope. Past that, it’s a crap shoot – you roll the dice.
Shoot, after you’ve been through freeway traffic in Houston or Dallas, there’s no road in the world that can scare you. Besides, we’re pretty much used to driving long distances in Texas.
You know, I’d love to do a Maxim shoot. But I’m not going to do it, because that’s just stupid to do.
My days are always changing, as some days, I’m on a shoot, or I will be DJing in the middle of the day or evening.
When I’m doing a photo shoot, I’m not playing a part. I’m just trying to be myself.
I feel like I come from a smaller off shoot of black people because I am mixed. People say I’m African American but that doesn’t include the other half of me.
The only time I have a good hunch the audience is going to be there is when I make the sequel to ‘Jurassic Park’ or I make another Indiana Jones movie. I know I’ve got a good shot at getting an audience on opening night. Everything else that is striking out into new territory is a crap shoot.
I would drive to gigs in my tiny little Fiat. I would shoot up and down the M1 to play at various places.
The three of us acting was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I really look forward to the days when all three of us shoot together, because the sparks really fly.
I would like one day to play an FBI cop, just so I can hold the gun and shoot.
I get people being frightened of me. One time I did this photo shoot where I had hairy armpits – I was really digging it, but they were like, ‘We’ll airbrush that out.’
I can shoot a three pointer in basketball, and I can kick a soccer ball.
I’ve seen so many young filmmakers – even professional filmmakers who get a Hollywood deal – they don’t quite know where to begin, where to end, and they’ll waste a lot of time making this perfect shot, an establishing shot, and then there’s no time left to shoot the dialogue.
For whatever reason, from a young age I’ve always been able to shoot images and cut them together with sound in a way that was very engaging.
I like to try to shoot in the city in a way that allows the city to go about its business while we’re shooting, and that’s always a challenge because, unfortunately, people on the street don’t know not to look in the camera or interact with the actors.
When Americans shoot movies they aim at the entire planet. When the French make movies, they aim at Paris.
So it wasn’t actually that bad, it took a couple of weeks to sort of get used to uh, you know, standing around and pretending to have ice shoot out of your hand, but once you got used to that it uh, it was actually not that hard.
It’s hard to shoot anything in L.A.; it’s just a chore, but they’re great here.
Sometimes you shoot for 40 or 50 hours for a one-hour show, and you have to make some very hard choices.
The word ‘good’ has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.
When you shoot on high-definition, everything is very sharp and clear, sometimes at the cost of losing dimension and depth of field.
I’ve always been intimidated by the technicalities of taking photos, especially with a film camera – not just a point and shoot.
It was my duty to shoot the enemy, and I don’t regret it. My regrets are for the people I couldn’t save: Marines, soldiers, buddies. I’m not naive, and I don’t romanticize war. The worst moments of my life have come as a SEAL. But I can stand before God with a clear conscience about doing my job.
Sometimes we see the Civil War in movies and imagine these neatly aligned rows of men with muskets, walking in line to shoot each other. In reality the things that fascinated me were how absolutely ruthless and violent so many engagements were, how much suffering and how men were not prepared.
Mini-series are my favorite medium to act in because it’s the right amount of pages you shoot a day, it’s the right amount of time that you’re with a character, and they really advertise it a lot so that people get excited for this epic event.
I went over to shoot for six days. It turned out to be ten days, very nicely so. A little money.
When you film a reality show, it’s so jumbled. They shoot episodes in all orders!
I love to sing. I also had a band during my college days in Saudi Arabia called Thousand Decibels. If not an actor, I would have become a singer. I am very passionate about work. I am a fitness freak: I go to gym before doing my shoot. I also do yoga.
Bad Boy Entertainment did not shoot anybody. I didn’t shoot anybody.
I was court-martialled in my absence, and sentenced to death in my absence, so I said they could shoot me in my absence.
I can do a ‘Maxim’ shoot and be super sexy, but I’m also just a 21-year-old girl, and I look 17 sometimes.
Shooting is nothing. Anybody can shoot. The big charge is putting on a show for the crowd.
I like a shoot when I feel strong and sexy, a little hard, with a darker edge. That’s what I do best. I like giving a photographer what they want, working with the art director. And modeling is all I’ve ever known.
If you want to be a good shooter, you’ve got to shoot.
I like style. For Dior, I did more of a collaboration shoot, not just a single image – so there was more to it. It’s a very prestigious brand. I like their style and feel like their style is mine.
Usually, when I liked athletes growing up, it was because they could hit a ball very far or they can throw a ball very fast. They can shoot a jumper, or they can dunk the ball.
I have to shoot without any breaks. I yell at Herzog and hit him. I have to fight for every sequence. I wish Herzog would catch the plague, more than ever.
The way I work with my cinematographer is not based on general principles, but the ideas are triggered by the locations where we shoot.
