My friends tend to be writers. I think writers and painters are really all the same-we just sit in our rooms.
Howard Hodgkin

Every time I work with a European director, I find they hire the person that captures the spirit of the role. Americans tend to hire the best face. The person that looks more like the role, whether they can perform the role or not is a bonus.
Elizabeth Pena

In independent film you tend to have stories that involve more of a community, and the smaller characters are important to the story.
David Morse

The critics tend to forget their own answers after a while.
Gina Gershon

You know, people always think if you start out as a film editor, you shoot less footage. Actually, just the opposite is true. I tend to grab as much coverage as I can because as a former editor I know how important it is to have those few frames.
Robert Wise

I tend to think of all the songs the same - I give them all kind of equal rights.
Jules Shear

Before, I just spewed whatever it was I thought about everything. I tend to be more contemplative now.
Anne Heche

Overtime, hatchery fish tend to show signs of domestication and these traits adapted to the hatchery environment can make it more difficult to survive in the wild.
Norm Dicks

Sometimes we tend to focus more on the personalities and the conflicts, and it really caricatures the issues.
Mitchell Reiss

I tend to turn down roles that are too much like me, what I think is most like me anyhow, because I'm me all the time and I'm sick of it.
Campbell Scott

I have been playing a lot of keyboards, especially in the last five or six years. I suppose it gives you more scope than the guitar, although it does tend to make you write a different way.
Mick Ralphs

I really pay attention to the bass in the music I listen to, and that's what I tend to write toward.
Dustin Diamond

Continental directors, as opposed to British and American, tend to be somewhat high-handed in their approach.
Donald Pleasence

I think you tend to try, during the time you've got off, to forget about the film. It was such a total world. I mean, the sets were claustrophobic, and as soon as you were on there, you were right back into it.
Rosamund Pike

You tend to meet on a more regular basis with people in your industry, and reality being what it is, you tend to meet with them at the particular level that you occupy; so that develops a fraternity relationship.
Lew Wasserman

We tend to read each other's books in sizeable chunks as they are written. I don't know that you could say we are ruthless with each other - in fact, I suppose we are very kind. There are ways to make suggestions which are not destructive.
Jonathan Kellerman

You only get one life so you might as well make it a happy one, and that's why I tend to just jump into things. I'm sort of a fearless idiot that way.
Nia Vardalos

I think there are a lot more relationship scenes in my movies that people tend to overlook. A lot of scenes really feel real and are about the characters.
Jan de Bont

National film industries tend to move in cycles. In Australia right now, we're on a high, a feeling of potential, which as yet shows no sign of flagging. But the word "industry" is misleading. A small national cinema has no industry in the Hollywood sense.
Peter Weir

People think of these eureka moments and my feeling is that they tend to be little things, a little realisation and then a little realisation built on that.
Roger Penrose
