A Quote by Cress Williams

I come from theater, so I'm used to the hierarchy of an actor is just on the ladder, and above that is a director, and above that is a producer, and above that is a writer. But on a television show or film, the whole call sheet thing and being No. 1 on a call sheet, people look to you and almost expect you to exercise this power for good or bad.

It's my job as a supporting actor - which I usually am - to support the film: to make 1, 2, or 3 on the call sheet look good.

Judy Greer

I was a houseman, the lowest. I was just above - in the hierarchy of jobs, I was just above the Puerto Rican dishwashers - just above, so I felt superior to them.

Frank McCourt

There's the pressure of being a No. 1 on the call sheet, being a lead actor. There's almost this feeling like being captain of the team. You want to put a bit of energy into actually setting a good example.

Joel Edgerton

If you call one thing good, you must call its opposite bad. If you think it wonderful to make a big profit in your business, you will also think it terrible if you incur a large loss. The idea is to live above the opposites.

Vernon Howard

Strength and success; they are above morality, above criticism. It seems then, that it is not what you do, but how you do it and what you call it.

John Steinbeck

The expression "from above" is for us only a way of speaking. Many receive from above the command for action - we call it intuition.

Sri Aurobindo

Being a film director involves, above all, a lot of hard work and resolve and determination. The glamour doesn't come until the premiere and the thing is all long done.

D. W. Griffith

With independent film, as an actor, you have more involvement - it's very much more connected. It's not just like I'm showing up and there's another actor on the call sheet; you're very attached to it.

Alia Shawkat

Reagan was all about America, and you talked about it. Obama is, 'We are above that now. We're not just parochial, we're not just chauvinistic, we're not just provincial. We stand for something.' I mean, in a way, Obama's standing above the country, above - above the world. He's sort of God. He's going to bring all different sides together.

Chris Matthews

When you get above the line, you're above the line. So my thing is I just want to make music where I am always above that line.

Adrian Younge

Like the mind-set that places men above women, whites above blacks, and rich above poor, the mentality that places humans above nature is a dysfunctional delusion.

Petra Kelly

I don't call my people fans, I call them believers, because they go above and beyond.

Big Sean

I came from the theater. It takes a team. We need everyone. It's not just No. 1 on the call sheet. I love to have kindness and respect and a place for where we can create.

Katy Mixon

Getting people to go above and beyond the call of duty can be achieved but only if you, the artist, are willing to go above and beyond any and all calls of duty yourself.

Tori Amos

Strength and success - they are above morality, above criticism. It seems, then, that it is not what you do, but how you do it and what you call it. Is there a check in men, deep in them, that stops or punishes? There doesn't seem to be. The only punishment is for failure. In effect no crime is committed unless a criminal is caught.

John Steinbeck

I mean, in a way, Obama's standing above the country, above — above the world, he's sort of God.
