Once you have mastered a technique, you hardly need look at a recipe again and can take off on your own.

I'm in total awe of the technique of great film people. Because if you get your emotional life up to perfection by miracle on Take One, you better have a technique to keep doing it again and again and again.

Ali MacGraw

Once you establish a look, and once everybody recognizes that look as your look, you never have to think about fashion again.

Douglas Coupland

In 'Beowulf,' director Robert Zemeckis uses a technique called 'motion capture' to conjure fantastical things, angles into action and sweeping vistas to stun your eyes and take your breath away. But what he hasn't mastered and what the technique can't do is this: emotion capture.

Stephen Hunter

Iman

Richard Gere

I am not sure, once a poet has found out what has been written already, and how it was written - once, in short, he has learnt his trade - that he should bother with literature at all.
