Robert Evans

Photography is about light and what it does and how it is captured on a piece of negative.
Matthew Modine

They see us interacting with people, they see us doing serious interviews, they see us having fun, and when you're conversing with someone, you get a much clearer impression of who that person is than if they are just reading into a news piece.
Katie Couric

I currently spend a lot of time thinking about orchestration and every detail of a piece.
Gavin Bryars

In order for a long piece of work to engage a novelist over an extended period of time, it has to deal with questions that you find very important, that you're trying to work out.
Donna Tartt

I don't know how many thoughts we have a second, but it's quite an amazing number, and just to pin down the appropriate sequence of those, all you really need is a pencil and a piece of paper.
Robert Wyatt

Everyone wants a hand in the outcome, a piece of the knowledge.
Walter Gilbert

Every role you play is literally - and I've said this before - every single role that you play, the only way you can connect to that character is because that was a piece of you that was scattered around that yard, almost like we got caught up in some whirlwind.
Terrence Howard

Landscape is a piece that is emotional and psychological.
Jim Hodges

Leo Ornstein

When you really are country, and you don't just wear it like a piece of clothing or something, you really can't get away from it. It just is who you are.
Lee Ann Womack

I heard Sidney Bechet play a Duke Ellington piece and fell in love with the soprano saxophone.
Steve Lacy
