I grew up the son of a director and grew up on sets myself, so I was the kid getting dragged around from this set to that set and I loved it. There’s something about it which is really interesting.
Directing was rarely a thought in my head growing up. Especially not when I first began acting or working on my first professional sets.
So often, religion is identified in terms coined by Christianity as sets of belief. But I had the sense that it not only involves practice, but also emotion and levels of our experience that are almost precognitive.
We must not be afraid to define our enemy. It is Islamic extremist terrorism. I did not say all of Islam. I said Islamic extremist terrorism. Failing to identify them properly maligns decent Muslims around the world. It also sets up a fear of being politically incorrect that can have serious consequences. And it has.
I went to art school first and thought that I’m going to design theater sets. That was my path.
All the ‘Hunger Games’ stuff, we had a fantastic production designer, and he built amazing sets.

Working in front of the camera keeps me alive. I couldn’t care less about actors’ trailers and food on sets and stuff like that – I just want to act.
I want to continue acting as long as I can because being on the sets is a big stress buster for me. I can’t possibly think of stopping my visits to the sets because I’m old.
A lot of actors on film sets… very often they’re not paying attention to the physical world around them. I think through studying art, I’ve always had that awareness and that’s something that I’ve wanted to bring in to go beyond acting… As a form of expression, they are intrinsically linked.
I’ve read up on magic, and I think it sets you free, and it gives you hope. You can explore worlds you didn’t know existed. It stretches your imagination, and I like my own imagination to be stretched and also the children I’m telling the story to. It gives you a sense of wonder.
Truth never changes. Truth always sets people free.
That really sets great directors apart from good directors: their ability to make you feel like you matter, even if your part is much smaller. That’s one thing I found with most of the great directors I worked with: They all have that skill. Not everyone takes the time.
I’ve played at the Comedy Studio. I never did as an undergrad, but I have in recent years, whenever I’ve gone back to anything at Harvard, I’ve tried to go there and do some sets.
As ‘Austrian’ business cycle theory has pointed out, any bank credit inflation sets up conditions for boom-and-bust; there is no need for prices actually to rise.
I thought it was a joke at first, but the president did, in fact, authorize an autopen to sign the Patriot Act extension into law. Consider the dangerous precedent this sets. Any number of circumstances could arise in the future where the public could question whether or not the president authorized the use of an autopen.
Being a lawyer, it’s like holding a key card to a parallel dimension of rule sets in the world, and it’s lovely to make sure that key continues to work and to continue to brush up on the law every so often.
Playing along with records is key. And as far as equipment goes it has gotten so much more affordable and the drum sets are of great quality. I play Pearl; their Export Series is great for a beginner.
Carrying out the thing, getting it to the point when one might say: There, now it is good – that point is hard to reach. Often, one sets very high goals for oneself. Perhaps too high.
In the end, we all want a wife. But the home has become increasingly invaded by the ethos of work, work, work, with twin sets of external clocks imposed on a household’s natural rhythms.
A picture is worth 10K words – but only those to describe the picture. Hardly any sets of 10K words can be adequately described with pictures.
Bizarrely, on movie sets, they don’t really dig it when you look in the camera, which is a bizarre fact.
Fondue sets, martini shakers and juicing machines: three things the world could live completely without.
It is scary for me to do a film by directly showing up on the sets without any preparation.
Growing up, I was on film sets occasionally, when my dad was acting, so I got to run around and do odd jobs on films like ‘Labyrinth’ and others… I seemed destined to make films.
I definitely feel that society sets expectations for transgender people to fit in and makes us feel as if we have to dress a certain way so that we blend in with everyone else. But I believe all transgender individuals should be able to wear whatever they want and not worry about fitting in.
As far as I’m concerned, dance is a passion for me. I don’t do homework and go to the sets. I believe in being impromptu. I just go on the sets and start doing whatever comes to my mind.
Science fiction writers aren’t short of ideas. You can read a book, and it sets off a chain of thought processes, so it becomes a response to other people’s books.
When good people do bad things, it is sad, but when they reach the point where one can predict that they will do nothing but bad things, a deeper kind of sadness sets in, almost at the level of resignation.

A Princeton education sets you up for life: you have learned how to learn, and at a time when technology has changed everything, you will constantly have to learn.
Instead of seeing depression as a dysfunction, it is a functioning phenomenon. It stops you cold, sets you down, makes you damn miserable.
My wife and I, unlike many intellectuals, spent five years working on assembly lines. We came to fully understand the criticisms of the industrial age, in which you are an appendage of a machine that sets the pace.
TV and the press have always functioned according to the same sets of rules and technical standards. But the Internet is based on software. And anybody can write a new piece of software on the Internet that years later a billion people are using.
No one sets out to write escapism as a film’s subject matter unless, maybe, you are making a fantasy flick.
Opera is the most complete art form. It includes drama, acting, technology (lighting), art (the sets), dance, and the epitome of the human voices. But mostly, go for the glorious music. The arts are crucial to the life of every community.
Nobody in Hollywood ever sets out to make a bad movie ever but about 99% of the time, that’s what happens.
Growing up, I spent a lot of time on film sets all over the world.
Typically, my cardio consists of an inclined walk and run on the treadmill for 40 minutes. After that I’ll do three sets of 20 push-ups, 100 crunches, and then I’m off to rehearsal.
I spent a lot of time on film sets with my dad at work, and as a kid, that’s a very appealing thing, to watch grownups get to play dress-up and pretend that they’re different people – and then get paid for it!
I spent most of my high school years on movie sets and I’d have like one teacher, which was really bad.
Half the shows on Comedy Central are just multi-cam blue sets, and they kind of look like game shows from the ’90s. It’s like, ‘Why do such a bland corporate aesthetic when the sky’s the limit with what you can do?’
In my experience a painting is not made with colors and paint at all. I don’t know what a painting is; who knows what sets off even the desire to paint?

Modern reality TV sets up these competitive situations to show us real human nature.

Some time ago, I investigated the possibility that a computer might be able to reconstruct a picture from sets of very accurate X-ray measurements taken through the body at a multitude of different angles.
I see genres as generating sets of rules or conventions that are only interesting when they are subverted or used to disguise the author’s intent. My own way of doing this is to attempt a sort of whimsical alchemy, whereby seemingly incompatible genres are brought into unlikely partnerships.
I do love the provocative side of my collection, but I also like the classics – the simpler skirts and the sweater sets and the shirtdresses. And I always love to see girls in jackets and trousers.
To think straight, it is advisable to expect all qualities and attributes, adjectives, and so on to refer to at least two sets of interactions in time.

Limited series ensure that we maintain the quality of the writing on the sets.
By ignoring a lot of American culture you can write more interesting stories. Unfortunately, if you were writing about America as it is, you’d be writing about a lot of people sitting in front of television sets.
The sun never sets on my gallery.
I like relaxed sets. I like to feel that I can make a mistake without feeling like I’m costing somebody money. I like a sense of freedom. I like it when people are open and are willing to let you do your work.
