Slate Quotations
If I don't think about anything, and start with a clean slate, in terms of what I have to do, a lot of different ideas come up, and I can think about things more openly. Namie Amuro I think there is a difference between Slate and Salon. I think we both serve important functions on the Internet. As more and more Websites disappear, I'm thankful Slate is still around because it makes things less lonely. David Talbot As a matter of principle, I always come to a film like a blank slate, I don't learn my lines in advance. With this approach, I feel clean. Jeanne Moreau I try and reduce myself to an almost blank slate and hope to God that I am creative. Ben Kingsley Substantially fewer films will be produced over the next year or two. And a significant portion of the production costs of the reduced slate will be borne by hedge funds and other investment groups. Peter Bart |
