I said the screen will kill the reader, and it has: the movie screen in the beginning, the television screen, and now the coup de grace, the computer screen.

Philip Roth

The representation of gay characters on screen is important for us all to think about because there are sadly too few representations of gay characters on screen in mainstream cinema. If Marvel starts making movies about gay superheroes, then we'll be in a really great place. We're not at that place.

Graham Moore

We've suspended the willing suspension of disbelief. We have given up that relationship, that almost hypnotic engagement, with the characters up on the screen.

Edward Zwick

An actor's off-screen persona should never overshadow his on-screen characters.

Ayushmann Khurrana

I have been approached twice before for Mahadev.' But they were for some other characters. This was the third time. I didn't want to say no because being an Indian we are all attached to Ramayan and Mahabharat and it is an honor for me to play Sita on screen.

Rubina Dilaik

Just like how male actors get to play varied characters, I would also like to play characters that people don't normally see female characters portraying on screen.

Song Hye-kyo

I'll remember this to my grave. We all walked into a room to see the screen tests. The first screen test was Marion Hutton's. Then came Janis Paige [who ended up with a part in the film]. Then on the screen came Doris Day. I can only tell you, the screen just exploded. There was absolutely no question. A great star was born and the rest is history.

Sammy Cahn

What attracts me to material are characters that I know - characters that I know people don't know but I know - and bringing them to the screen. Spotlighting voices that have not been heard before on screen.

Lee Daniels

While asleep, I had an unusual experience. There was a red screen formed by flowing blood, as it were. I was observing it. Suddenly a hand began to write on the screen. I became all attention. That hand wrote a number of elliptic integrals. They stuck to my mind. As soon as I woke up, I committed them to writing.

Srinivasa Ramanujan

You just have to re-wire your brain when you're shifting from the stage to the screen or the silver screen or the HD flat screen.

Beau Willimon

You just have to re-wire your brain when you’re shifting from the stage to the screen, or the silver screen or the HD flat screen.

I don't know if Rush Limbaugh knows the difference between a screen porch and a screen play.

Shannon Sharpe

I much prefer writing an original movie with the screen in mind to transferring a play to the screen.

Neil Simon

I'm most concerned with committing to characters that contribute to more complex, modern and dynamic Asian-American representation on screen.

Eugene Lee Yang

It's kind of a test when you read a novel thinking about its potential for the screen: How does it play on your mind's screen?

Debra Granik

I've always said it's flattering to be desired, just as it's flattering that people accept the reality of the character you play. But it was always ridiculous to assume that because I could play a gigolo on screen I'd play anything like that role off screen.
