But in general, for the purposes of most novelists, the number of objects genuinely necessary for. . .describing a scene will be found to be very small.
I have a trainer that I box with. Luckily, on ER, they'll tell me if I have a shirtless scene coming up and I'll have a few weeks to power it out.
Playing heroine was never an aspiration. If I had been particular about it, I would have faded out of the scene long ago.
If a character dies, you get to do a big, juicy death scene. But the flip side is you're out of the sequel, which is where the real money is.
With most of my books, I'll actually go out and look at the setting. If you describe things carefully, it kind of makes the scene pop.
I must say that Bengaluru has been one of the best places where I've performed and I would love to associate with the theatre scene here on a personal level.
When I'm composing a scene for the first time, I try to imitate my character. The less critical distance the better - particularly when they're acting badly.
There was a scene early on during the first season of Roswell and I broke down crying. Since then, I've always just been able to do it.
On 'EastEnders,' if someone gets surprising news on the phone, the scene ends with them looking at their handset in amazement. No one in real life does that.
Gradually the live TV scene simmered out, replaced by film, and that took place in L.A. So many actors left New York.
We came down here to see this teddible scene: people all pissed out of their minds and vomiting on themselves and all that and now, you know what? It's us
Maybe it's good that we are so slow with everything. We were saved from the damages that took place in the last 10 or 15 years in the scene.
I grew up really religious, and my family still is, but I'm not so much. That scene in 'Cool Hand Luke', it just destroyed me.
Once I went to watch 'Hatari' with my Mama and there was a rhino attack scene where I cried so much that they had to take me back home at interval.
Of course when people are as talented as Jim O'Rourke or Gene Coleman, pretty soon you know that they're going to be part of the bigger scene anyway.
In the past I've worked with directors who saw very much their scene in their head and knew exactly how they were going to cut it.
There were dozens of dating apps when Bumble came on the scene, but they weren't able to attract critical mass in a young professional group.
We saw The Man From La Mancha, and I remember there was a scene where the woman's skirt fell off, and I got embarrassed and excited at the same time.
My scripts are possibly too talkative. Sometimes I watch a scene I've written, and occasionally I think, 'Oh, for God's sake, shut up.'
Visions of one powerful scene after another parade across his inner screen, each exploding with drama and meaning
Building the scene, going out and doing shows and connecting with the fans, cultivating the fanbase in all these cities. I'm very glad that it's happening.
Emotion will always win over coolness and cleverness. It's when a scene works emotionally and it's cool and clever, then it's great. That's what you want.
Actually, when it comes to knocking the Canadian cultural scene, nobody outdoes Canadians, myself included. We are veritable masters of self-deprecation.
I thought the grunge scene was cool. This is going to sound weird, but I remember doing a concert at a tavern in the mid-'80s with Nirvana.
I have always loved the Day of the Dead - a chance to celebrate death rather than to treat it like that awful scene in the cemetery.
There was this moment when we made 'Superunknown': the Seattle music scene had suddenly ended up on an international stage with huge success.
My favorite [costume in collection] is the white dress Marilyn Monroe wore in the subway breeze scene in 'The Seven Year Itch.'
Yeah, what happened was Universal wanted one of the characters to be nice so they chose me so there was a scene where the girl was tied to the bed and I let her go.
If you do a scene and you really like a character in it or a premise in it to write it down and to work on it so that you can have five or six characters that you can pull out in an audition.
There are some things I like about L.A. You can have a really healthy lifestyle, and I love running with the dogs on the beach. It's just the social scene is horrific!
If a scene doesn't work on three levels - it's not advancing the story, the characters, and telling me something new - then put it in the trash.
Now I think since I've hit the scene and did a little bit more, other teams are saying I'm one of the guys they have to stop.
My music experience living in Baltimore was life-altering. To this day, there is no scene that works as hard or puts as much effort into their art.
Scatterbrain is one of those harmless little words you use a million times... Then it turns up in a crime scene description.
My theory is, if you can do comedy and you can be in a scene with someone like Brad Garrett and hold your own, you've really got a future in this business.
I am not indulgent. I think constructing a scene elaborately - with art, costume, and visual drama - is not indulgence. Other people should do it, too.
I have no memory for what happens in what books. I don't know when I might remember a scene, but beats me what book it's in because there are 14 of them now.
I'm not stuck strictly doing hip-hop. Songs from the dance/electronic scene are my favorite to make and remix, and I like that world.
When I was an art student in the early 60's before the acid scene began I was smoking pot just like anyone else who was an artist.
I avoided the party scene at the University of Miami. I came in to study musical theater, and I felt so behind. I literally knew nothing.
I just never want to be in this situation where I get to set and they're like, "We rewrote this scene, you're now naked." I need a little prep work.
I'm Sudafed-ed up, but it's alright because I'm having to do this rather sultry scene, so maybe it's OK that my voice is three octaves lower.
Working with Dominic Savage was an amazing experience. You don't have a full script to follow so you're more or less improvising and he tells you what he wants out of the scene.
I don't really ever think about whether or not I like the characters I'm playing. I'm more into the minutiae of their behaviour or what they're doing in a certain scene.
My favorite was Jeff Gordon. I just followed him growing up because I started watching racing when he came on the scene.
I'd have conversations with the camera crew about what was going on in the scene, so that they were prepared to shoot it. I love the fact that when you work, you create this tribe.
New York feels like the whole city is into dance music. That's not how it felt when I was younger. There was more of a hipster scene.
Probably my favorite thing about watching a movie that I'm in the first time is to see all the things I didn't know were happening in a scene around me.
We saw a hole in the Chicago poetry scene that slam couldn't fill. I think a lot more can be done with the form than just competition.
I don't storyboard, and I don't really shot list. I let the shots be determined by how the actors and I figure out the blocking in a scene, and then from there, we cover it.
I got introduced to the rave scene in 1992. At the time I was into skateboarding; I listened to a little hip-hop but was mainly into heavy metal and grunge.
Who that hath ever been Could bear to be no more? Yet who would tread again the scene He trod through life before?
...most of the press were vultures descending on the scene for curious America aplomb. Cameras inside the coffin interviewing worms.
Depending on what I'm working on, I come to the writing desk with entirely different mindsets. When I change form one to the other, it's as if another writer is on the scene.
As they spoke, the only thing I could think about was that scene from Julius Caesar where Brutus stabs him in the back. Et tu, Eric?
Toronto may be the only city where novels are integral to high art, the alternative scene and mainstream culture all at the same time.
In this scene, I'm talking about how much I don't like cookies.... I'm sayin', 'Listen, guys. Have you read the book? We're not supposed to be eating.'
The industrial revolution took the father out of the home and put the kids in school. And then everyone had their own little scene.
The music I listen to while writing is really scene-specific. It's just a great motivator, a way to put myself in the mood.
I learned that the best way to work is to allow the scene to live on its own before making major adjustments, whether in rehearsal or on film.
