Insulated from reality by complex and expert systems of provision and police, baffled by fashion and spectacle, city dwellers can distinguish neither the sources of their existence nor the consequences. James Buchan Read Quote
Many people don’t know our famous ‘soup kitchen’ episode on Seinfeld was inspired by an actual soup restaurant off 8th Avenue in New York. Jason Alexander Read Quote
I did ‘Land of the Dead,’ which was the biggest zombie film I had ever made. I don’t think it needed to be that big. That money went largely to the cast. They were great, but I don’t think that money needed to be spent. George A. Romero Read Quote
Television and cable have become the new independent films, in a sense, for writers and actors to gravitate towards.

I think that lens flares can work really well under certain circumstances. Personally, I am trying to get rid of them most of the time. I don’t like artifacts that draw attention to the surface of the image. Roger Deakins Read Quote
My defining moment was when I finally went to Cannes and saw my name along with international filmmakers. Vikramaditya Motwane Read Quote

Would you come to work for us?’ John Layfield Read Quote
