Kelly Masterson Zitate

Stage is so important because it teaches me how to convey character with words - how to convey how a character reacts by the way they appear on stage. I can usually tell a playwright from someone who has never written for the stage. Did the character work? Did the dialogue reveal who the character is?

Kelly Masterson

Deutsche Übersetzung

Die Bühne ist so wichtig, weil sie mich lehrt, wie man Charaktere mit Worten vermittelt - wie man eine Figur so darstellt, wie sie auf der Bühne wirkt. Ich kann einen Dramatiker normalerweise von jemandem unterscheiden, der noch nie für die Bühne geschrieben hat. Hat der Charakter funktioniert? Hat der Dialog gezeigt, wer der Charakter ist?

Englisches Zitat von Arlo Guthrie als Bild

My dad's songs were really written to make certain people feel as though they had some kind of value. Because they were told from where they work and from the countries they had immigrated from that they did not.

Englisches Zitat von Sue Grafton als Bild

I've never written about my husband, Steve, or any of my children because I know them all too well. I see them in all their complexities which makes them impossible to render on the printed page.

Sue Grafton

Working on 'Drive', a lot of fun. This is Tim Minear whom I've worked with before on 'Firefly' of course. He called me up and said, 'I've got a part for you that you will love,' and I love Tim's writing. I love his stories. I love his characters, his dialogue. He has a knack for reveals and he has a knack for moments.

Englisches Zitat von David Cronenberg als Bild

Let's put it this way, when I was casting, I cast Viggo first and then found someone who could play his wife, rather than the other way around. So for me he's still the lead character.

Englisches Zitat von Francis Ford Coppola als Bild

When I was sixteen or seventeen, I wanted to be a writer. I wanted to be a playwright. But everything I wrote, I thought, was weak. And I can remember falling asleep in tears because I had no talent the way I wanted to have.

Englisches Zitat von Karin Slaughter als Bild

I'm over the word 'like' in conversation, and 'you know' seems to be the placeholder of choice, but when I'm writing dialogue, I tend to use those phrases because that's how people talk.

Englisches Zitat von Chris Crutcher als Bild

Any writer my age almost can't get away from being influenced by Kurt Vonnegut, partially because of his simple, clear way of stating things. To read Vonnegut is to learn how to use economy words.

Englisches Zitat von Elmer Bernstein als Bild

There's no way I can compete with someone who can write rap or rock and roll. Nor do I wish to. But I've always kept up to date with music changes. I worked very hard not to type myself.

Elmer Bernstein

You're sent scripts, and for some, as soon as you start reading them, you feel an instant connection to the character. You know who they are, you know how to play them, and there is instant enthusiasm. Then, at the audition, you don't have nerves because of that natural affinity.
