While I’m confident in Obsidian being able to deliver a quality title, it only takes one other Kickstarter developer to ruin things for everyone else and cast doubt on the donation process going forward.
When I was shooting ‘Mud,’ every day was my favourite! I had so much fun on this film and loved working with all the cast and crew! It was a great experience.
A cookery book should be there for inspiration. Recipes should be a guideline, and they shouldn’t be cast in stone.
Kelly Preston is a remarkable human being and a great dramatic actress. It was a privilege as a director to tap into this part of her. Rarely do I make a kind of spiritual connection with my cast. Kelly was a wonderful exception. She is truly very special and I adore her.
There’s room for Spike Lee’s movies; there’s room for Tyler Perry’s movies. There’s room for classics with an all black cast. There’s room for all of it as long as we don’t try to make any one piece define us as a race.
I’ll say this, I’m no stranger to working with a foreign cast, foreign directors, that sort of thing. I love it, because I think that when you have people from different countries, it sort of brings everyone together, it’s more of a worldly film.
I’m always the interrogator. When I was an actor in rep, I always played sinister parts. The directors always said, ‘If there’s a nasty man about, cast Harold Pinter.’
From its inception by Michael Bennett, ‘Dreamgirls’ has always been an epic story with an ensemble cast. I didn’t change that. The screen version remains, really, a group story.
Once you sign on as an actor, you know, you don’t go to the editing room, you don’t see how they cut, you don’t see how they score, you don’t see how they cast the rest of the movie.
But when I did think about it and looked at the whole package – the producers behind the show, the writers, the cast I would be working with – I would have been a fool to turn it down just because the role for me was another gay role.
The Bachelor Canada’ will be uniquely Canadian in and of itself because you’re going to have a 100 percent Canadian cast, you’re going to use Canada as a backdrop, you’ll be going to all of those iconic places around Canada from coast-to-coast.
Throughout my career, I was to be cast as a frontier girl, an aristocrat, an Arabian, a Eurasian, a Polynesian, and a Chinese.
Luck affects everything. Let your hook always be cast; in the stream where you least expect it there will be a fish.
I throw everything I have into whatever story I’m writing – and so there’s something immensely gratifying about finishing one piece and then starting fresh with a new setting, time period and cast of characters, getting to see the world through a completely different lens each time.
‘Arrested Development’ is great; Mitch Hurwitz is great. Plus, it’s the one show I’ve ever had where, on the small parts, he just let me cast people.
I try to cast actors willing to believe in the world of the movie, who can make an emotional investment in the world we are creating.
The problem – when you cast your net that wide – is you inevitably catch something you don’t want to catch.
The fact ‘Twin Peaks’ had a life at all took most of us in the cast by surprise. We thought it would be too unusual for network television. The original intention was that it would be a two-hour movie. If the network didn’t want to pick it up as a series, it could just show that. But ABC took a chance.
For the average person, taken to their sick bed, it takes a serious bout of pneumonia or a full body cast to completely forget the life they had prior to falling off the rollercoaster. I, however, will do this over a paper cut on my thumb, obsessing of said cut and being generally consumed by it.
Watergate is an immensely complicated scandal with a cast of characters as varied as a Tolstoy novel.
We are supposed to believe that every dollar given to a Clinton is a dollar that improves the world. But is it? Clintonworld is a galaxy where personal enrichment and political advancement blend seamlessly, and where a cast of jarringly familiar characters pad their pockets every which way to Sunday.
We can’t pick and choose when to adhere to the Constitution and when to cast it aside.
Right before ‘Brian’s Song’ there was a period when I was very despondent, broke, depressed; my first marriage was on the rocks. The role of Gale Sayers had been cast with Lou Gossett, and then he hurt himself playing basketball. I was called in to read for the role. I was their last choice, and I knew it.
I think the people who cast films tend to think of me in regard to strong women with integrity and a lot of it has been very good.
I started modeling and after a while the photographer Bruce Weber introduced me to Joel Schumacher, who cast me in my first film, and I just fell in love.
A little man often cast a long shadow.
Great actors help. Every project is different. Sometimes it’s completely open, and I’ve been able to cast who I’ve wanted. And then sometimes people want a certain kind of actor.
I’ve auditioned for normal characters. But I never get cast.
Somebody with Debbie Reynolds’ features doesn’t get cast as the Wicked Witch.
I studied at Guildhall and did the acting course, but because I could sing a bit, I kept being cast in musicals.
I’m delighted to join the cast of ‘Field Of Blood: The Dead Hour.’
Love cannot be defined, caught, cast in stone, or archived. It’s something we have no control over. Love is completely analog. Love can never be digital.
I’m probably the only member of the ‘Bachelor’ cast without an agent!
Curiously enough, I was one of the first to have some say in Hollywood. By sheer accident, I had four successes in a row in the early 30’s and, although I was still in my 20’s, I demanded and received approval of cast, story and director. I don’t know how I got away with it, but I did!
The great fun for me is these collaborators. I’m nothing by myself. Being with these people, whether it’s the ‘Homeland’ cast or stage collaborators, they make you everything you are. They make you come to work. They make you be alive.
But however long you may have continued in rebellion, and how ever black and long the catalog of your sins, yet if you will now turn to God by a sincere repentance, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, you shall not be cast out.
I think I failed miserably on NewsRadio. I was very nervous because of the caliber of the cast – especially Dave Foley – so I think I did a terrible job.
Let who will boast their courage in the field, I find but little safety from my shield, Nature’s, not honour’s law we must obey: This made me cast my useless shield away.
I was a freshman and auditioned for the school play. Freshmen usually never got cast. I was the first freshman to be actually given a legitimate part and it was that feeling of ‘Wow! I broke the system!’
My temper is of a recluse and contemplative cast; had it been otherwise, I should, perhaps, on some former occasions, have entered into the active concerns of the world and not have been connected with it merely as a writer of books.
Who am I to pass judgment? Judgment has been passed on me, but I adhere to, ‘Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.’
Nation should be rest assured Pakistan is a safe atomic power. No one can cast an evil eye on it.
There’ll be moments when I’m out in the prison yard, chatting with the cast and the crew, getting ready to shoot a scene. And then I’ll remember if I were actually an inmate, I’d only be out there an hour. The other 23 hours of the day, I’d be in my cell. It’s kind of a downer.
For some reason, it popped into my head the notion that a lot of the Next Generation cast in the long run of that show managed to step behind the camera.
‘Rent,’ for me, was a significant time in my life because it was my first break. It was my first professional job. I also met my husband in that cast, Taye Diggs.
I was never that kind of star. I was never cast because I was gorgeous.
The only really conscious decision I made was to cast my net wide and if the work was good, to do it.
There have been times – and not just on ‘The Newsroom,’ but on ‘The West Wing,’ ‘Sports Night,’ ‘Studio 60’… – where it was hard to look the cast and crew in the eye, when I put a script on the table that I knew just wasn’t good enough.
When the American people elected Barack Obama and large Democrat majorities, the die was cast. ObamaCare was coming. Popular or not, constitutional or not, affordable or not, it didn’t matter.
During ‘Saturday Night Fever’ at the end of the first act dance number I tried to perform a split-jump, only I can’t do them so I ended up on my ass followed by the most unsightly backward roll out of it, followed by the cast falling over in laughter and a good portion of the audience too.
The difficulty with film is you always have to consign a story to being a certain length, whereas with a book you don’t have budget constraints; you can cast it yourself.
Votes in federal elections are cast and counted in a highly decentralized and variable fashion, with no uniform ballots and few national standards.
I was in the original cast of ‘Wicked’, and that got a bad review in ‘The New York Times,’ and it’s the most successful thing that’s ever been put onstage.
