True sport is always a duel, a duel with nature, with one's own fear, with one's own fatigue, a duel in which the body and the mind are strengthened.

Yevgeny Yevtushenko

I love Sam Raimi. 'Evil Dead 2' is one of my favorite films. It's one of the best cheaper horror films I've ever seen. Horror films and suspense films can be made on a low budget without big stars and be very effective.

Tim Matheson

A duel, a duel, a duel. Is there anything more exciting, more romantic ... or more utterly moronic?

Julia Quinn

One of the greatest sins in any story is false suspense. The kind of 'suspense' that disintegrates the moment you give your reader one second to think about it. And it's an easy trap to fall into, so watch carefully for it. If your story hinges on the question, 'Will Superman be pushed so far in his battle against Lex Luthor that he'll have to kill him?', or if your big cliffhanger moment is, 'Wow, is Spider-Man really dead this time?', then I understand Food Lion is hiring.

Mark Waid

We shall not enter into any of the abstruse definitions of war used by publicists. We shall keep to the element of the thing itself, to a duel. War is nothing but a duel on an extensive scale.

Carl von Clausewitz

We always have the movies that are more toward real life, but they don't have that much drama or suspense, or we have the full of drama or suspense, but they're far away from real life. Always when I was watching a film, films with good drama, I was thinking, "I wish they were more close to real life." But when I was watching real life films I was thinking, "Well I wish it had more drama." I've tried, in the movies that I worked so far, to get these two things closer and closer to each other.

Asghar Farhadi

Before I became a suspense novelist, I wrote romantic suspense as Alicia Scott.

Lisa Gardner

Suspense is very important. Even though this is humor and they're short stories, that theory of building suspense is still there.

Sergio Aragones

I read what I like to write: romantic suspense. I also love thrillers and novels of suspense, but I can't handle extreme violence and torture.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is one of the greatest films of all time.

Laura Dern

'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' is one of the greatest films of all time.

Laura Dern

Suspense films are often based on communication problems, and that affects all of the plot points. It almost gives it kind of a fable feeling.

Ira Sachs

Films do have suspense and tensions and scares and jumps, and I like to write things that have both in them, comedy and horror, but sometimes they are hard to balance.
