As for critics, one mediocre writer is more valuable than ten good critics. They are like haughty, barren spinsters lodged in a maternity ward.
Peter Greenaway
If people have to tell you how successful they are, they really aren`t that successful. That`s something I learned sweeping floors at this recording studio called the Power Station. Mediocre stars were the biggest pricks, and the big stars were the ones w...

With a good script, a good director can produce a masterpiece. With the same script, a mediocre director can produce a passable film. But with a bad script even a good director can`t possibly make a good film. For truly cinematic expression, the camera an...
Akira Kurosawa
I`ve done millions of mediocre movies. I`ve done way more than my fair share. You do what you gotta do. This is not heart surgery. I`m not curing cancer. I`m just trying to put my kids through school.
Ron Perlman
I`ve always known from the beginning of my acting career that you only get an acting job if you`ve got something to learn about it. If you don`t do it well, you`ll be condemned to doing the same role over and over and over again. If you do it mediocre you...
Lance Henriksen
I always like that. Whenever there`s a project where everyone`s going, `Oooooh, it`s a bit dodgy,` I always like it. If you actually look at it, there tends not to be anything risky at all. Why did I start acting in the first place? I didn`t do it to be m...
Christian Bale
First of all, I choose the great roles, and if none of these come, I choose the mediocre ones, and if they don`t come, I choose the ones that pay the rent.

Liza Weil
I want to direct, I want to be part of something creative, something with quality. My biggest fear as an actor is being involved in something mediocre, or being mediocre myself. I`ve taken classes on screen-writing and, of course, I read a lot of scripts....

When you play all that as a body of work there are four great songs, four mediocre songs and four bad songs. I didn`t know it at the time; I was just doing my best.
Randy Bachman
We`re going to simplify a lot of the things that we do because we are young, we`re going to try to get as good as we can in a few things and not try to be mediocre in a lot of things. I think if we can do that, we`ll have some success.
Ann Hancock
There are pockets of great food in Spain, but there are also pockets of very mediocre food in Spain, and the same in Morocco and the same in Croatia and the same in Germany and the same in Austria.
Mario Batali
People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don`t know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.
George Allen
Our judges will not continue to represent the diverse face of America if only the well-to-do or the mediocre are willing to become judges.
