Inspiration quite frequently arrives as a surprise. The key is being open to it.
The whole point of working and practicing your whole life is so that you're ready when that moment arrives; when the inspiration arrives, you are ready to be at the disposal of inspiration.
Always get to the set or the location early, so that you can be all alone and draw your inspiration for the blocking and the setups in private and quiet. In one sense, it's about protecting yourself; in another sense, it's about always being open to surprise, even from the set, because there may be some detail that you hadn't noticed. I think this is crucial. There are many pictures that seem good in so many ways except one: They lack a sense of surprise, they've never left the page.
The Lord delights to surprise us with His goodness, if only we will unlock the door of obedience with the key of faith - which He has given - and then push it open and walk through.
Inspiration always arrives unannounced.
Inspiration arrives as a packet of material to be delivered.
Character is the key to your success. Inspiration is key.
I quite frequently don't look through the camera, which is very close to being blind.
I think being open-minded about what Nature is trying to tell you is the key to being creative and successful.
The key here is that with planning, you can take advantage of opportunities, where without this planning, you may just watch them pass you by. Like knowing that a key potential customer may be at a conference and putting together a pitch just in case you run into them - or being caught by surprise with nothing coherent to say.
It wouldn't surprise me in 10 to 15 years if heading wasn't involved in the game. The research and the momentum it's getting, I think it's probably going to open up a lot more stuff that becomes quite shocking.
I read a lot of different stuff, but I keep being open to inspiration.
The key to enjoying the journey is being open to the unknown
Apparently, despite my awareness of its pejorative connotation, procrastinating is something I fall victim to quite frequently. I'm not proud of it; I'm just being honest.
I've never had a surprise birthday party. I've had every other type of surprise. I've had surprise beatings, surprise drug tests, surprise daughter I think.
I have had quite an interesting life. My husband was quite successful in the movies, and we went out frequently with Gloria Swanson and other stars.
In fact, my methodology is based on the idea of waiting for when inspiration arrives for the actors. And that means that the light, the cinematography, everything has to be ready for that moment, so they don't have to wait.
