Performance is made in the editing room, and I've come to see the truth in that - the idea that they say performances are usually made in the editing room because what you film is the raw material. I think just going through the process of saying, "Which take do we use? Why is that the take we want? I want that take can you edit again, I'm not sure that's the one, I think it's this one." And just because you go through that process, I think somehow it's made me sort of more open about the [actor's] possibilities.

Ralph Fiennes

The idea that a film is created in the editing room - it's only a certain kind of movie that's made in the editing room and it's not one that I really want to see.

Ethan Hawke

The only thing that matters is performance. That's the bottom line. You're part of the team. It doesn't matter if you're in your first year or your 41st.

Mike Webster

When you are acting in a film, you have no idea what scene the editor is going to choose. For instance, after you have directed, you feel more comfortable delivering a performance. Because you know the real performance is put together in the editing room.

Dolph Lundgren

I was really able to confirm something that I knew on some level before I'd made a film. The best actors know how to really relax. Because in film, a lot of the decisions are made in the editing room, so when you're trying to guide your performance too much - always it's a push and pull because you can't be too relaxed. Too relaxed and it's like, "What are you doing?" Too tense and it's not good either.

Peter Vack

All three parts of filmmaking [writing, shooting, editing] contribute to rhytm. You want the script to be a tight as possible, you want the acting to be as efficient as possible on the set, and you have enough coverage to manipulate the rhythm in the editing room, and then in the editing room you want to find the quickest possible version, even if it's a leisurely paced film. I definitely in filmmaking more and more find writing and directing a means to harvest material for editing. It's all about editing.

Alexander Payne

The film is made in the editing room.

Philip Seymour Hoffman

I don't like to do any editing on guitars. I think the more editing you do, it just takes away from the feel of the performance.

Wayne Static

There's a theory, one I find persuasive, that the quest for knowledge is, at bottom, the search for the answer to the question: Where was I before I was born. In the beginning was what? Perhaps, in the beginning, there was a curious room, a room like this one, crammed with wonders; and now the room and all it contains are forbidden you, although it was made just for you, had been prepared for you since time began, and you will spend all your life trying to remember it.

Angela Carter

Manage the top line: your strategy, your people, and your products, and the bottom line will follow.

Steve Jobs

It's - everybody's looking at the bottom line all the time, and failure doesn't look good on the bottom line, and yet you don't learn anything without failing.

Alan Arkin

We need to change society's ordering principle from economic to humanitarian values, from money as the bottom line to love as the bottom line.

Marianne Williamson

Americans need to worry about whether Trump will be watching out for America's bottom line or his own bottom line.

Tim Kaine

Americans need to worry about whether Donald Trump will be watching out for America's bottom line or his own bottom line.

Tim Kaine

Editing is where movies are made or broken. Many a film has been saved and many a film has been ruined in the editing room.

Joe Dante

In some of the greatest recordings ever made, the performance is a part of the recording. Dylan's 'Rainy Day Women No. 12 and 35' is all about the esthetic of that performance. You can hear the room.

Moby
