Movies are details. Movies are billions of details that come into a certain moment. So with all the years and months and weeks and days and minutes of preparation, then finally you're shooting and it all comes down to these moments when you're shooting, which is sort of insane when you think about it. The details make a difference.

Annette Bening

Women notice details that most men don't. They notice if your belt and shoes match. They notice what kinds of foods you like to eat. They notice all the details, then make assumptions about every other area of your life based on these details.

Eben Pagan

The details are details. They make the product. The connections, the connections, the connections. It will in the end be these details that give the product its life.

There are details within details within details to anchor you in the fact that we are talking about the real world, not an illustrated children's book fantasy world.

Joe Rohde

When we don't have all the details about our characters, we have to make it up to fill in all the details. So, for me, writing and acting go hand in hand.

Octavia Spencer

I think the most important thing journalism taught me is to mine for details. The details are key. You can't try to be funny or strange or poignant; you have to let the details be funny or strange or poignant for you.

Karen Abbott

Short stories can be rather stark and bare unless you put in the right details. Details make stories human, and the more human a story can be, the better.

V. S. Pritchett

Emotions are the sums created by details, whether those details are true or not.

Terry Goodkind

Are the details of our lives who we are, or is it owning those details that makes the difference?

There's a tendency at the senior and middle-manager level to be too big-picturish and too superficial. There is a phrase, "The devil is in the details." One can formulate brilliant global strategies whose executability is zero. It's only through familiarity with details - the capability of the individuals who have to execute, the marketplace, the timing - that a good strategy emerges. I like to work from details to big pictures.
