Even if the committee carried the message in the exact words with no words missing, but left out the persuasion of gesture, the supplicating tone, and the beseeching looks which inform the words and give them life, where then were the power of the argumen...
Joan of Arc
If I had some fake tanner, I`d like to play `Ernesto `Che` Guevara` . I think I kind of look like him except for my skin tone. He`s one of my idols.
Nick Stahl
On producing The Bucket List (2007): This is kind of a little minefield here. You want to get the tone right for it. This is a subject that you have to deal with comically. It`s still got to be funny. You want sentiment, not sentimentality. These are all ...
Rob Reiner
When we handed in our first cut, the Sundance version, we were essentially told the film was too intense. Really? I`m going to be penalized for doing what I`m supposed to do as a director? I think they have a problem with the `tone` as well. How do you cu...

James Wan
I`ve been with some good ones, but maybe the best was Franchot Tone. I made two pictures with him and he stole both of them. Something went wrong with how he was handled; or who knows, maybe it was Joan Crawford. But he had everything - great at comedy an...

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 why it took ten years to finish the script for Mala educación, La (2004)] [It] deals with my own biography . . . it took time to remove myself from it. Now it`s not me. I changed the tone of the story, but the main situation is the same.
Pedro Almodovar
[2/12/04] I remember, before we started principal photography on The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), Peter Jackson screened Braveheart (1995) and The Thin Red Line (1998) for the cast. He said, "This is the tone I want to strike with...
Sean Astin
My original interests and intentions in guitar playing were primarily created on quality of tone, for instance, the way the instrument could be made to echo or simulate the human voice. At the time when I was still thrashing around on the acoustic guitar ...
Eric Clapton
You might be saying, `I love you` to your girlfriend in Cantonese, but it will still sound like you`re fighting. It`s just our tone. We always sound like we`re in a shouting match. Mandarin is so mellow. Cantonese is strong and edgy.
Howard Lee
You know in his tone of voice, his facial expressions. When he has a meeting, he doesn`t have to scream and yell, he can just give you that face and that tone he has, and you know we had better pick it up and get going again.

You have to understand the tone of the movie, because if it`s supposed to be funny, it can be funny violent like the Home Alone stuff, but you have to really understand the tone of what you`re doing and make the action work for that and for the character.

David Ellis
You have to nail the right tone because sometimes when you just see his films cold, you`re not quite sure. It`s the same in - I`m trying to think of other directors with a similar sense - David Lynch`s films, Tim`s films, some of Cronenberg`s stuff.
Danny Elfman
When you have an at-bat like that, it wears the pitcher. It sets the tone. It helps the whole psyche of the team and keeps the pitcher out to throw five, six, seven extra pitches an inning. That adds up. (If you) add seven pitches an inning for four innin...
Anne McInerney
When you are making a record and if you spend too much time over it, you have to record it a tone lower or cut the tones lower because you can`t reach some of the notes, I find this. But when you go on stage, you have to put the key up and it really chang...
Ray Davies
When I want to show the kind of meanness people are capable of, to make it believable I find I have to tone it down. It`s in real life that people are over the top.
Todd Solondz
Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.
Alain Senderens
We want to set a tone going into our fiscal year that starts Feb. 1, that Wal-Mart Stores is going to be aggressive in taking care of customers, taking care of our associates, communications and merchandising.
Lee Scott
We spend a lot of time in preparation. We concentrate on being ready and setting the tone early. Our goal for the rest of the season will be to get better every practice and every game.
Bob Howard
We have hardly an adequate idea how all-powerful law is in forming public opinion, in giving tone and character to the mass of society.
