Marriage enlarges the scene of our happiness and of our miseries. A marriage of love is pleasant, of interest, easy, and where both meet, happy. A happy marriage has in it all the pleasures of friendship, all the enjoyments of sense and reason, and,

Procrastination is the thief of time: Year after year it steals, till all are fled, And to the mercies of a moment leaves The vast concerns of an eternal sceneEdward Young
I have stepped off the relationship scene to come to terms with myself. I have spent most of my adult life being `someone`s girlfriend`, and now I am happy being single.
Penelope Cruz
I`ve known Larry Clark since I was fourteen. I`ve always skateboarded in Manhattan. Larry got into the scene in the early 90s, taking pictures and skating with us. Then one day he was like, I just got the money for this movie I`ve been talking about for t...

There are occasional food fights. We had Friday-night grape night. Because when I had the scene with Josh and the wine, we started picking up the plastic grapes and throwing them at each other. By Friday night we were so tired, and the director couldn`t c...
Holly Marie Combs
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...

I was happy to do it when I saw the chance of helping out the local theatre scene ... I am delighted to be able to help the theatres where I grew up and learned my profession. I have never forgotten my past.

Gregory Peck was one of those few great actors of generosity, humor, toughness and spirit. From our fight scene in The Big Country (1958) to his willingness to stand up for what he believed personally, Gregory Peck faced life`s challenges with great vigor...
Charlton Heston
On his role in `Virgin Territory` (in which he makes a cameo at the beginning): I have done a few cameos in movies and quite enjoyed it - other than this one. I did this part because I liked Hayden Christensen. I do this scene in the start of the film. I`...
David Walliams
[1983 comment on Francis Ford Coppola] Coppola`s talented. I`m pissed that he cut a scene that would have given the audience an insight into my character in "Apocalypse Now," but he`s talented.
Robert Duvall
[on Burt Reynolds] It`s the man`s tremendous wit that just keeps coming across. Listen, there is no acting style. Most people just play themselves. Spencer Tracy used to say to me after a scene, "Did I ham that one up?" If I said yes, he`d say, "Okay, let...

I had a drag scene in Doris Day`s "Glass Bottom Boat." An elegant gown. Actually, it was more expensive than any of the ones Doris had to wear. That day that I came in fully dressed and coiffed, I was the belle of the set! Everybody went wild! Doris came ...
Paul Lynde
Director Clarence Brown once called her "the greatest pantomimist that ever drew breath. She was a natural-born comic; you could turn on a scene with her and she`d go on for five minutes without stopping or repeating herself."
Norma Talmadge
In the beginning, it wasn`t even a question of deciding I`m going to do independent film and not commercial films -- I wasn`t being offered any commercial films, and there wasn`t an independent scene. I did a lot of so-called" independent films that were ...
Steve Buscemi
You don`t have to like an actor to do a scene with him. You don`t have to like a director. But it`s just better if you do. And I think, you know, you`ve got to begin that with respect.
Russell Crowe
About her role on "Maude" (1972): "If the producers needed information in a scene, my character was the one to do it. What I didn`t know is that when I said those things, I was usually walking down a flight of stairs and no one was even listening to me. T...

On her love scene with Bill Pullman in Mr. Wrong (1996): "It`s a combination of Something Wild (1986), After Hours (1985) and Mary Poppins (1964)....if Mary Poppins were naked."

[Talking about his scene with Michael Douglas in Traffic (2000)]: "I threatened Michael Douglas! Oh man, that guy could beat me over the head with his Oscar!"

(About his injury during Dickie`s death scene in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)) "Matt [Damon] broke my rib! But I think I strained his neck, we got a little bit carried away".

You are preparing yourself for a scene, and the most important thing is to remain emotionally available and remain in the moment with your scene partner. You don`t want to let your own self-consciousness block the flow of creativity that`s coming out so t...

It would be going too far to say I was actually in Edward Scissorhands because I was so far in the background that you can`t tell it`s me. It would be better to say I was on the set of the film. I was in the scene when Edward looks out of a window to the ...

It was hysterical. We wanted to make it naughty and fun. When the camera stopped rolling, it was hard to stop laughing. - about her love scene with Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 2 (2000)

(Commenting on the nudity and sex in In the Cut (2003)) "You don`t go, `Wow! I get to do a nude scene.` But I love the sex scene in this movie. It was scary, honest and raw. But people could find my body very unattractive. There could be a backlash agains...

The acting coach Stanislavsky talks about cutting 90 percent. So you do research, research, research, then you drop it and listen when you`re in the scene and know who you are. You never know how it`s gonna come around. That`s why you go out there and fin...
