A well-run restaurant is like a winning baseball team. It makes the most of every crew member`s talent and takes advantage of every split-second opportunity to speed up service.
David Ogilvy
I deplore this kind of politics. I think the ad is dishonest and dishonorable. As it is, none of these individuals served on the boat (Kerry) commanded. Many of his crew have testified to his courage under fire. I think John Kerry served honorably in Viet...
John McCain
I don`t storyboard anything. I go on a set in the morning and, unless a scene requires a lot of props, I won`t even tell the crew what I`m going to shoot first. I know what the setup is and which actors are required. But I have to see what occurs and like...
Robert Altman
I`m very happy here [in London] and I really like the way the film industry works, everybody cares. I like that it doesn`t have this big capitalistic feeling. When you do something in L.A. you really feel the crew are punching the clock.
Gwyneth Paltrow
[after The WB channel canceled the series, causing hurt feelings among the cast and crew -- hurt which was dramatized in the finale] "We put a lot of that heartbreak into the script, into the show, so it would hurt as much to watch as it did to have it ta...
Joss Whedon
I wouldn`t want to tumble with Harrison Ford in real life. He`s a tough son of a bitch. I threw that man through a window seven times and he landed on his head, got up, rebuilt the window with the crew and then got thrown through it again. I hit that man ...
Paul Bettany
You can have a film and have 200 white people working on it, and nobody finds anything wrong with that. But if you insist on having a black crew, all of a sudden there`s something wrong.
Richard Pryor
[on Elvis Presley`s inner-circle crew] Well, they were yes men. They overlooked his excesses and the chemicals he was taking. For a Cadillac, they would say the right thing. I said, "God forbid that day comes that you die, Elvis. Red West is gonna write a...
Connie Francis
[on Grace Kelly] She`s a great lady, with great talent and kind, considerate, friendly with everybody. She was great with the crew and they all loved her.
Bing Crosby
[On his experience on the set of his film, 100 Girls] "It was crazy. We shot like fourteen hours a day. Like every day. Sometimes even later. Trying to keep that smile on every day was pretty difficult, but I like the crew a lot. We had good meals togethe...
Jonathan Tucker
I think I take what you might call a B-movie story, deal with B-movie subjects, and I treat it as if it`s an A-movie in terms of my approach, my crew, my actors, my ethics and so on. I guess that`s my trademark or one of them anyway!
M. Shyamalan
During the shooting of my directorial debut, I must never let myself go to any goliardery, even if I might think I am missing some fun, never mingle with the rest of the crew, because they are actors while I am the mirth of a rickety poem. They are solo a...
Asia Argento
Some jobs, while you are making them, you find yourself living the part. You dream about them. You wake up thinking about it. That is a good sign. That was Drugstore Cowboy. It was cool. It was fun to make. It was a small crew. The actors were great. It w...
Matt Dillon
[of his position at "The Daily Show" (1996)]: I mostly work on writing the show. We have a talented crew of writers and I`m like the managing editor. I am the fake Lou Grant of the fake news world. [February 2003].
Jon Stewart
[On his character on The Crew (2000/I)]: I knew which character I wanted to play because I understand this guy very well. He goes from being perfectly sane to, within a quarter of a second, choking you to death and banging your head against the floor. I`v...
Burt Reynolds
At one point, they offered me this part to play a drug-dealing, gun-selling butch lady. I don`t know how to describe her but she had like a crew cut and stuff. I was like, "Is this a joke?" And they said, "No, we think it would be great because everyone w...
Kristin Davis
[on his role as Charles Gunn on "Angel":] "Gunn is an activist, a renegade vampire hunter who leads his motley crew of fellow hunters on a personal crusade of execution for reasons that the audience is not yet aware of. He is a tormented soul and a lone r...
J. August Richards
One thing I realized from Julia [Roberts, _My Best Friend`s Wedding (1997)_ co-star] - which I knew before, but was made very clear - is that when you`re the star of the film, the crew looks to you to set the tone of everyday work. So when you come into w...
Cameron Diaz
[on making sequels] You know, when you make sequels, they have to be better each time. And you have to spend the money. I remember on Superman II (1980), we once went down to St. Lucia in the Caribbean from Pinewood--took a whole crew to get a shot of Sup...
Christopher Reeve
[on working with Clint Eastwood on Breezy (1973)] He`s even-tempered -- a personality trait not much in evidence among directors. The crew is totally behind him and that really helps things go smoothly.
William Holden
The cast and crew of this show are the best! I loved being on the set and the whole atmosphere was just really fun and cool. I played the well dressed kid on the 6th episode of the first season. Well dressed kid is just that-a well dressed kid who wears e...
Paul Butcher
Making a film is so hard that if you don`t have your main actors going along with the ride with the rest of the crew it can make your life very difficult. Particularly within the Hollywood machine. They`ve allowed more stars to take over and it can make e...
Alan Parker
I`ll tell you, the love scene is always very, very difficult to shoot because you have all the crew around you and looking at you and when you are kissing someone, they say, `Don`t put your hand on my shoulder because you`re touching my hair` and somethin...
Raoul Bova
I completely storyboarded "The Maltese Falcon" because I didn`t want to lose face with the crew: I wanted to give the impression that I knew what I was doing.
John Huston
I had a kissing scene on the first episode of Summerland. I thought it would be weird, but it wasn`t too bad. The crew has seen it a million times. Plus, I feel very comfortable with everyone onset. It was harder on Kay, who plays my younger sister on the...
Jesse McCartney
