There's been no major motion picture released by a studio, no independent motion picture, in theaters, with King at the center, in the 50 years since these events happened, when we have biopics on all kinds of ridiculous people. And nothing on King? No cinematic representation that's meaningful and centered.

Ava DuVernay

Firefighters are everyday heroes who I think are often overlooked - so to get to play one as a part of a show that is doing a huge amount to try and pay tribute to them... I feel very lucky!

Oliver Stark

What he's done is recognise the cinematic nature of the book. It's beautifully realised - it's a beat film.

Tilda Swinton

It's hard because people often don't recognise shyness; they think it's just someone being rude. I have had to work to overcome that, especially if I'm meeting my readers at author events, because I don't want them to think I'm snooty or rude.

Karin Slaughter

I'm interested in the way major events don't necessarily announce themselves as major events. They're often little things - the drip, drip of life that changes people or affects people.

Noah Baumbach

When you're writing a script you have the option to embellish on life or switch the order of events or make it generally more cinematic. I would stick too closely to my own experience and not necessarily think about the fact that it needs to have an event happen. Realising that I could channel my own experience into a story that was slightly more cinematic was a very important moment for me - allowing myself to accept that the kind of screenwriting I'm doing is a work of fiction.

Lena Dunham

The 'Transtastic' hat represents what I want to do with my life's work, combining my experience and visibility to improve the lives of other people and bring their often-overlooked stories to the media forefront.

Brian Michael Smith

It is one thing to recognise certain potentially useful affinities, and another to act on them.

John Burnham Schwartz

I've been in situations where, in the midst of really hardcore events in my life, I made some ridiculous off-color joke that was in horrible taste, but made people laugh.

Samuel Witwer

A lot of the shows I have done, I'm often the only black guy and I have often had to play second or third fiddle. It isn't necessarily a bad thing if it is a strong ensemble cast. But I feel people have overlooked my abilities.

Malik Yoba

It is one of the peculiar truths of life that people often say things that they know full well are ridiculous.

Daniel Handler

I'm often at events when they're quite light-hearted social events when people would want me to kid around.

John Key

The action comedy 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl' raises one of the most overlooked and important cinematic questions of our time: Can a movie maintain the dramatic integrity of a theme park ride?

Elvis Mitchell

From the social cognitive perspective, it is mainly perceived inefficacy to cope with potentially aversive events that makes them fearsome. To the extent that people believe they can prevent, terminate, or lessen the severity of aversive events, they have little reason to be perturbed by them. But if they believe they are unable to manage threats safely, they have much cause for apprehension.
