People don't really have a relationship with great writing or great production or great art direction or great direction. They just sort of admire it.

Steven Moffat

Great individuals and great performances build a team, which produces brilliant performances.

Sachin Tendulkar

When Roman Polanski did give you a "Great, great, great!" you were just like, "Thank you, Lord, for this magical moment."

Olivia Williams

I tell my kids all the time, 'I want you to be a great athlete, I want you to be great academically, I want you to achieve a lot of things, but mostly I want you to be a great person. If none of the other stuff happens and you're a great person, then I'm okay with anything else that happens in your life - that's the highest standard.'

Cris Collinsworth

Great art direction is NOT the same thing as great film direction!

Gene Wilder

You could make some great sounds with technology. That's what recording is all about. What happens in the studio is very magical, and should be, in my opinion.

Tony Visconti

Great direction, great acting partner, great character backstory - these are all rare luxuries to have in the room.

Hale Appleman

Our job is just to keep making great-sounding music and great performances.

BoA

I've always appreciated great acting performances, but I've even learned to appreciate not so great ones 'cause it's hard.

Zoe Bell

I loved [Real Madrid]. It was a real experience, playing with a great team. One of the first questions I'm often asked is 'What was Madrid like?' It's got that mystique about it. It's a magical place and a magical team, and everything about it is great.

Michael Owen

I like the powerful story, the excellent performances the beautiful cinematography and the vision of the "The Piano".

Mabel Cheung

I'm so aware when you make a film, there are so many elements to get right. So many people with such important jobs. You know, it's terrible. I walk away from a film going, "The cinematography was great, wasn't it? But the music wasn't so good. The casting wasn't great."

Stuart A. Staples

I think people just see cinematography as being about photography and innovative shots and beautiful lighting. We all want our movies to look great visually, to be beguiling and enticing, but I think that what really defines a great cinematographer is one who loves story.

Seamus McGarvey

I do feel that scripts get developed now to a point where they're sort of actor-proof. If the actor is not very good, the narrative still survives because it's all in the dialogue. Not to say there aren't great performances in English-language films, because there are every year, but the 1970s were awash with great performances, and I was wondering whether it had to do with the amount of space and the amount of responsibility given to the actors.

Paul Bettany

You can start with a great director and great actors and have a great script - and it still just doesn't work. It's kind of a mystery how that happens.

Casey Affleck

I turned on VH1 this morning just to get a little warm-up before I came over here, and I think it's just terrific. There's so much great stuff: diverse and wonderful music, good performances, great looking girls, great videos, the whole thing.

Debbie Harry
