There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.

When you are a second-generation success, you are provided for. And that certainly was a big opportunity. But you don`t have that `rags-to-riches story`, which is always a much more dramatic story to plot. Your success is not one that is as easily accepte...

On playing Mary, Queen of Scots in "Gunpowder, Treason and Plot": "I realised that since I was a child I wanted to be an actress just to dress up in big fabrics and corsets and have adventures riding horses with lots of blood and action! And I got all tha...

I love independent films, it`s the only place as an actor you`re totally allowed to breathe. You`re not following the plot, or the next action beat, or promoting some big dumb movie. Independent film is for actors that love to act. There`s more interestin...

[on The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)] If you have any ideas for a script, please, call Universal! We`ve gone so far from the book. [Robert Ludlum] wrote it as a trilogy and we`ve really kind of ignored that plot because it`s very Cold War. And so, in the updat...

The violence in the "Psycho" movies is born out of plot, passion and character ... Don`t just dispatch people by six to the reel and say its entertainment.
Anthony Perkins
One of the things that`s great about Training Day (2001) is that you have two very distinct personalities, but it`s true: it also has a great plot. If you can do both, it`s incredibly exciting for the audience. Oftentimes, you have art films that have no ...

[Battlestar Galactica] "Whatever you want to see or whatever you`re struggling with in life, you can see there, whether it be politics or terrorism or war, hope, faith, struggle, love. It`s all in there. Or if you just want plain action and neck-snapping ...

What I look for in a script is the plot point and whether they`re strong, obviously, or not, whether the characters are rich or not, and if I can do justice to the character or not. Some movies you look at and the script is so bad that no one can do anyth...
Larenz Tate
If the film, play or any project I`m involved in requires some sort of violence or nudity to advance the plot, scene or character in any way, then I would be considered unprofessional not to oblige. Of course, I want to make sure -- and I think I always h...

Because it`s prime time there`s a rule that you can`t really show anything. As for me personally, though, I`d only take my clothes off for a film if it made sense in the plotJamie Luner
You know, Motorcycle Diaries has no incredible stories, no sudden plot twists, it doesn`t play that way. It`s about recognizing that instance of change and embracing it.
Gael Bernal
You cannot read my script and look at that movie, and not get that they took everything from it, ... I`m not saying that two people can`t have a concept about a barbershop, but when you have the exact same characters, the exact same plot, that`s going a l...

Writing is truly a creative art - putting word to a blank piece of paper and ending up with a full-fledged story rife with character and plot.

We`re looking at increased volume. We could justify as many as 250 beds on the existing plot. With the land acquisition, we can provide 300 to 325 beds. This is a growing community. We`re at capacity now. We need to expand for the volume we have now so we...

Typically in horror films the character just services the plot, and you really are just going from `point a` to `point b,` just so that you can end up at `point c.` They are just sort of stick characters. That`s just not interesting to me.
Kevin Williamson
Two things I do well in books are sex and violence, but I don`t want gratuitous sex or violence. The sex and violence are only as graphic as need be. And never included unless it furthers the plot or character development.
Allison Gilman
To this day, I get rewrite offers where they say: `We feel this script needs work with character, dialogue, plot and tone,` and when you ask what`s left, they say: `Well, the typing is very good.`
John Sayles
The one thing I would like more credit for is being part of a movement which involves recognising the importance of plot and asserting that books of literary worth could be written that had plots.
Scott Turow
The next book will be entitled "Brother-in-Law." I won`t go into the facts of the book except that it`s going to have a much, much larger plot.

No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible.
