A Quote by Edwin Catmull

Creativity has to start somewhere, and we are true believers in the power of bracing, candid feedback, and the iterative process - reworking, reworking, and reworking again until a flawed story finds its through line or a hollow character finds its soul.

the 'total overpaintings' developed... through incessant reworking. The original motif peeped through the edges. Gradually it vanished completely.

Arnulf Rainer

Of course I'm schooled in the old school method: taking what I think the director wants, then reworking it through my own brain and heart.

Shirley MacLaine

Reworking other tracks is also quite cool.

Martin Garrix

Jerry Goldsmith's 'Voyager' theme is a brilliant reworking of the original material.

Robert Picardo

I don't listen to music when I'm writing, but I often do when I'm reworking, editing or when I need to relax.

Joanne Harris

I believe really deeply in the pilot process because you learn things about tone and casting. Even some of our best shows have had substantial re-shoots and reworking before they've gone on the air.

John Landgraf

Writing is making a mess, and then working and reworking to create a beautiful piece.

Heather Sellers

For me, reworking the past over and over again is a way not to trivialise the garments and not to obsess over hem lengths. What I am interested in, as a matter of fact, is telling a story and, if someone sees fragments of other stories in it, be my guest. I don't have to justify myself. What is urgent for me is what I want to say.

Alessandro Michele

I'm big on reworking vintage. Also, buying one great piece that lasts forever - to me, that is total sustainability.

Elizabeth Rogers

Jean Renoir once suggested that most true creators have only one idea and spend their lives reworking it, but then very rapidly he added that most people don't have any ideas at all, so one idea is pretty amazing.

Peter Greenaway

I think one of the pitfalls of doing your own music is that sometimes you can never be satisfied with it: you're afraid to say that it's done, and you keep reworking it or re-recording it or re-writing it.

Adam Schlesinger

I like working together with different producers. Of course the process is different, producing a new track is like creating something all new, while reworking an already existing track is more like giving your own twist to the record.

Martin Garrix

A Godly leader ... finds strength by realizing his weakness finds authority by being under authority finds direction by laying down his plans finds vision by seeing the needs of others finds credibility by being an example finds loyalty by expressing compassion finds honor by being faithful finds greatness by being a servant

Roy Lessin

But most critically, sweet, never try to change the narrative structure of someone else's story, though you will certainly be tempted to, as you watch those poor souls in school, in life, heading unwittingly down dangerous tangents, fatal digressions from which they will unlikely be able to emerge. Resist the temptation. Spend your energies on your story. Reworking it. Making it better.

Marisha Pessl

I could probably spend the next five years reworking an album from ten years ago, if given the chance, to make it better - make it best, so to speak.

Zach Condon

When I was growing up in the '80s and working in the theater, David Mamet exploded with a whole new reworking of what dialogue should sound like. It was punchy and raw and repetitive, bursting with dynamic. I remember that switching on a lot of lights for me.
