When I wake up in the morning, and I go to the piano, and there's a blank sheet of paper in front of me, by the end of the day, that could be a gold mine. You really do need to wake up and expect that the world is your oyster because it very well may be.

Lesley Gore

Special effects are characters. Special effects are essential elements. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't there.

Laurence Fishburne

One of my first things I was fascinated with when I got on set was how does Grant do all this Flash stuff? it looks so good as the end product, but how does the special effects team work? How does the visual effects team work?

Tom Felton

There were challenges with production because of the special effects. There are just some things that, although written, special effects just isn't able to do.

Shawn Wayans

I think some of the special effects in Close Encounters hold up better than the new more expensive special effects is because they were better actually.

Bob Balaban

'Macbeth' is one of the best operas ever, and doing it was a great experience. I added some things to the opera based from my experience on the movie - such as some of the special effects and bits of film - to make it new and interesting. It was a very good work and a very good experience.

Dario Argento

Unless you have a very good reason, never wake up anybody or anything! Let the sleeper sleep in peace.

Mehmet Murat Ildan

Nowadays, you can't broadcast dodgy special effects and then put up a caption saying, 'Sorry, this is what the budget was.' You have to do it with high production values because the audience has been spoilt by the special effects on things like 'The X Files' and 'Independence Day.'

Jed Mercurio

I think 'The Lost World' could've been a successful movie except for the fact that it pre-dated the good special effects and computer graphics.

John Rhys-Davies

There is a lot of use of ProTools in professional studios, but this is mostly for the special effects it allows, not for sound quality. These special effects soon fall out of fashion, and I don't think this trend will define studios permanently.

Steve Albini

Usually, when special effects get in the way, it's because the story isn't strong enough. If you don't start with a strong screenplay, it's easy to fall back on special effects, thinking it's going to carry you. But it never works. It's just tiresome.

Ridley Scott

The real trick to these movies and making the big action sequences work - and I've forgotten this sometimes and screwed it up - the characters really have to be humanized. Because you can have the greatest special effects in the world, but if you don't care about the people in those effects, there's no impact.

Dean Devlin

I'm not even sure I like surgery, but I like what it does, I like the effects. I like to be able to give people longevity and quality of life, and I also think it's good for people to use the special gifts and talents that they have. And when I was in medical school, when I began to analyze the gifts and talents that I had, I realized that surgery would probably be a very good fit for me.

Benjamin Carson

But initially when I was working with my dad, it was in special effects puppets with radio control and motors and puppet effects.

Brian Henson

With a book I am the writer and I am also the director and I'm all of the actors and I'm the special effects guy and the lighting technician: I'm all of that. So if it's good or bad, it's all up to me.

George R. R. Martin
