Historians and archaeologists will one day discover that the ads of our time are the richest and most faithful reflections that any society ever made of its entire range of activities.
Marshall McLuhan
[on Sissy Spacek] Sissy`s a phantom. She has this mysterious way of slipping into a part, letting it take over her. She`s got a wider range than any young actress I know.
Brian De Palma
I`ve been really fortunate in the fact that I`ve gotten a chance to do a real wide range of all different kinds of characters. Drusilla is amazing, and is such a rich character, and then to go from that and work on a New York Italian character, to get tha...
Juliet Landau
I want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It`s that sort of acting career I really respect. I like to turn a sharp left from whatever I`ve done before because that keeps me awake. That`s why I want to be an actor -- I don`t want to pla...
Tim Curry
I`ve got such a broad range of musical interests. I`ve been influenced, from my father`s music and my mum`s so that goes way back to like the `50s. Of course Elvis Presley because every piece of pop music has been influenced by him but then you look at th...
Oliver James
Drama school is a pretty intense experience and I think it changes who you are. I think I grew up at drama school (which was fairly useful personally as much as professionally) and I certainly got exposed to a huge range of ideas, techniques and practices...
David Tennant
I just pick the best roles that are left over, and they usually aren`t the heterosexual, leading-man, non-drug-addict parts. And once you get into doing them, people know you do them. - On his wide range of offbeat parts.
Peter Sarsgaard
(Discussing his movie The Door in the Floor (2004)) "It`s a very emotional movie, a whole range of emotions. It`s sad, it`s lonesome, it`s very funny at the same time, almost slapstick near the end. In terms of my career, I was very, very lucky to have my...
Jon Foster
I loathe war. I`m inclined to be bitter about the politics of munitions and real estate which are the reasons of war. It certainly taught me to value the quiet life and strenghtened my conviction that to keep as far out of range of vision as possible is t...
Ronald Colman
On why he left "Law & Order" (1990): "One of the frustrating things about that role - one of the reasons George Dzundza left, I assume, and certainly why I left - is that there wasn`t enough range...It wasn`t a large enough vehicle for me to express what ...
Paul Sorvino
I do not attempt to orchestrate my career. I let God do that. I like horror movies. To me, they are a very legitimate place for an actor to work. It`s a great arena for me to experiment, to play a range of different funky characters. I like what I`m doing...
Clint Howard
[On friend Joan Crawford]: She is five feet four, but she looks six feet on the screen. In a two-shot with anyone, even Gable, (Clark Gable), your eyes fix on her. She is imperious, yet with a childlike sparkle. She is haughty, yet tender. She has no grea...
Steven Spielberg
Robert Redford understands film acting better than anybody on the face on the earth. You know how some carnivores get every bit of meat off of a carcass they can? Well, there`s nobody who gets as much blood out of a moment as Redford. Within the range of ...
James Woods
I am a limited actor. My range isn`t that great and I don`t have that much scope. I`m pretty much myself most of the time in my movies and I have accepted that.
Steve McQueen
It was about six months of brutal training, twice a day at the gym, a Navy Seal guy would come over to my house and take me to the firing range, firing live rounds down the range, primary and secondary weapons. Learning edge weapons training, one man mili...

Thomas Jane
I don`t think the Disney Channel gives us enough credit for the age range Lizzie McGuire actually has. College students come up to me, grandparents, famous people. It`s really funny.
Hilary Duff
It`s not just putting people with disabilities in the movies - it`s putting them in and letting them be a wide range of characters. Some of them are funny, some of them are not, some of them are nice, some of them are jerks. They`re just like everybody el...
Bobby Farrelly
I withdrew after Shakespeare in Love (1998) and went back to the theater, to what I know. I went back to what my initial voice was, which was to find a range and freedom and a creative energy. If that meant not following up with a typical leading-man role...
Joseph Fiennes
You don`t just want a mask image that will give you an acceptable pattern at exact focus and dose. You want the pattern on the wafer to be acceptable over a reasonable range of focus and dose errors and variations in resist.
Andrew Moore
You can`t get an actor to do something that is beyond his range, so you have to be aware of the range of the actor and, if necessary, alter the part to suit the actor.

While the use of pesticides has resulted in a wide range of benefits to control weeds, insects and other pests, including increased food production and reduction of insect-borne disease, their use also raises questions about possible effects on the enviro...
Robert Hirsch
While maintaining our nuclear potential at the proper level, we need to devote more attention to developing the entire range of means of information warfare.
Boris Yeltsin
The day is committed to error and floundering; success and achievement are matters of long range
