One key element to Hitchcock is the drooping jowl. That was crucial because his silhouette is crucial. There is something about his silhouette that became his brand.

Toby Jones

It's Toby Jones playing Alfred Hitchcock, not Alfred Hitchcock. We all felt that his silhouette was crucial, so his nose and lips were crucial as well. We had to build it out a bit to get the silhouette. But, with my nose being so small within the proportion of my face, the first nose was too big. I felt like a nose on parade.

Toby Jones

Audiences want Burt, John Wayne and others to go on doing the same thing forever. It's critics and the actors themselves who want actors to try different things.

Hal Needham

One of my favorite quotes ever was from Slash from Guns and Roses and he said 'to be truly iconic, you need to be able to recognized in a silhouette'

Matthew Healy

As a writer and director, I want to know what is behind the good manners and soft voice. Who is inside the silhouette?

Federico Fellini

You can't make theater happen without actors. The actor is the central ingredient in making theater happen. Audiences may come to theaters to see the work of stage managers, directors and producers, but the only people who can communicate theater magic to audiences, through ideas and emotions, are the actors. They are the only ones who can communicate this by themselves, and if necessary, they can get along without you. But you can't make theater without the actor.

Laurence Sterne

I think my style is a mix of quirky, eclectic, bright, and fun, with a really sophisticated feminine silhouette.

I have a recognizable silhouette.

Daveed Diggs

I could be shooting myself in the foot, but in some ways, I feel I've said all I've needed to say when to comes to, say, the 'X-Men.' I think I've hit the bright points, I think I've hit what I wanted to hit, and I can be happy moving on doing other things.

Marjorie Liu

A good cover has a distinct silhouette

J. C. Leyendecker

That's what I'll be. A silhouette, rarely seen, and yet believed in.

Ellen Hopkins

I think audiences, producers and directors included, develop crushes on actors (actresses in particular) and then lose interest and move on to the next one.
