I am a competitor and always have that itch until the day I die, but I won't let the itch supersede being a businessman.

Bill Goldberg

So the desire you have, that itch that you have to be whatever it is you want to be ... that itch, that desire for good is God’s proof to you sent already to indicate that it’s yours. You already have it. Claim it.

Denzel Washington

Precision, directness, and quickness are what human beings are good at. What we have never been good at - in our past, at least - is figuring out the impact, the consequences, of what our skills have allowed us to do.

Sue Hubbell

We do good because it frees the heart. It opens us to a wellspring of happiness.

Sharon Salzberg

I firmly believe that emotions are universal, and I know that when they connect with the audience, it works. There is no such thing as an entertaining or a serious film; there are good films and bad films. Good films will always find a vast audience.

Karan Johar

An actor and a [theatre] director are both what I would call interpreters of work. We interpret a work, just as a musician will interpret a composer's work, we interpret the work of a playwright. We are servants of the theatre and I've always believed that. We must serve what has been written, that's what we're there for.

George Ogilvie

When I studied with Nicholas Ray he was always telling us, "If you want to make films, watch a lot of films, but don't just watch films, go take a walk, look at the sky, read a book about meteorology, look at the design of people's shoes. Because all of them are part of filmmaking." So I thought, perfect! That's a good job for me.

Jim Jarmusch

The urge to write poetry is like having an itch. When the itch becomes annoying enough, you scratch it.

Robert Penn Warren

It is always good to be cast in films with good stories and content, made by such amazing banners and directors. For an actor it's a task to work in films like these.

Varun Sharma

The R K banner has had this tradition to make good films, and good films always take a lot of time to complete because of the hassles involved.

Rishi Kapoor

In India, we always look at feature films as a progression over short films. But, abroad, people make a living making short films. The revenue might not be as much as in feature films, but the return on investment is good.

Karthik Subbaraj

Films take us into an entirely different world, and that's why we must ensure that our long shots do justice.

Rajiv Menon

I watch 'Goodfellas,' and suddenly it frees me up entirely; it reminds me of what great film directing is all about.

Peter Jackson

I think we shouldn't be shy of thinking that we can interpret text like a movie again, depending on the point of view and what we do with it more than anything else. Of course a lot of remakes of important films, particularly of horror films, they suck.
